- Several small sailing dinghies with numbered sails are drawn up on a stone quay in the foreground, with a rowing boat and a larger wooden boat beside them. Behind them, a ruined stone tower stands on rocks at the harbour mouth, with a stone breakwater, a lighthouse and a motorboat on the calm sea beyond. A few people are partly visible at the bottom edge and on the far shore, and a printed caption block sits in the lower right corner.

YACHTS AT KYRENIA "It is an ancient city, small but strong, and well walled, with a good harbour, which though small is closed with a chain and well defended. It is the whole kingdom of Cyprus because it lies open to the west wind." Pero Tafur-1435 (Andancas e via j es) R.O. Wideson
