Exploit's pennant number "A-167" is visible on the bow. On the left hand side of the image in the distance is the top sail schooner sailing towards the North Sea. Its main sails on its fore and main masts are set. The square topsails and all the sails on the mizzen mast are furled. A variety of small craft can be seen on the left side of the image near the topsail schooner and on the right hand side of the image. The top of a stone wall and a partial view of two people can be seen in the foreground.
