Seen at a distance of ca. 1/2 mile off Falmouth are, moored from left to right, three pilot cutters, one carrying no rig; in the distance, the Cutty Sark, its stern not in view; a steam coaster; the hulk of HMS Implacable; a ketch-rigged yacht of some 100ft LOD; and a small tanker. The gaff mainsail and foresail of what may be a Falmouth working boat (oyster dredger) are visible behind the tanker.
