A hand-coloured etching shows a capsized wooden boat lying on a sandy beach beneath steep rocky cliffs, with men and horse-drawn carts gathering cargo from the wreck. The stormy sky and breaking waves frame the scene. This print by Thomas Rowlandson, dated 1822, is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
