140. A Sea View, during a stiff breeze, and the appearance
of rain. The composition offers, in the centre and front, two
sishing smacks, in one of which the sailors are hoisting out the
boom: a little beyond them, and on the right, is a ship of war,
with her stern to the spectator, firing a gun at two small ves-
sels, one of which is lowering her main-sail, and the other has
all her sails up. Several other ships are in the distance.

and on the rocks in front are several persons assisting at a
wreck.

the opposite side of the canal, near which is a vessel. Engraved
