About this work

A watercolor-style scene shows fishermen on a stormy beach launching a small rowing boat through surging surf toward a distant three-masted ship. Nearby, a man kneels to work with coiled nets while two figures in hats and aprons look out over the rough water beside a beached boat and a stack of timber. This 1808 print by Joshua Cristall is held by Wikimedia Commons.
