The principal object is a fishing-smack lying on the left, with her sail reefed. A sailing-boat lies along her further side, and near the shore a row-boat, from which a man has alighted to receive a bundle from another man, who is standing on the extremity of a jetty, only a small portion of which is visible. Near the centre of the foreground, a man, carrying a basket on his back, is wading through the water towards the spectator. On the right, some small craft and a man-of-war firing a salute. Several other war-vessels in the distance.
