'Assistance' and 'Pioneer' breaking out of winter quarters,1854
Inscribed "H.M.S. Assistance and Pioneer breaking out of winter quarters, 1854."
'Assistance' is shown in the centre foreground and 'Pioneer' behind on the right hand side of the composition. The vessels are shown on icy waters and against a coastal background. They seem ready to depart since the sails are unfurled and some smoke is visible from the funnel of the steam tender 'Pioneer'.
