In the centre is a stern view of a small ship sewed about six feet and heeled to starboard, with only her fore and main masts stepped. Alongside her to port is an onderlegger lying between piles. A raft is pictured in the foreground. On the right is the after part of another ship and on the left are boats and spars.

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger, which has been very approximately dated by the style.
