Shipping in a stormy sea

The small coastal craft in the foreground flies the Dutch flag and a similar craft sails on the right. Behind is a larger three-masted vessel. To the right is a town which is dark under a threatening sky, and there is open sea to the left. Other shipping can be seen in the distance. One of a pair of images with BHC0848.
