Famagusta: boats, propeller and water
Description
A large dark ship's propeller fills the left foreground beside the quayside. Beyond the calm water, several masted sailing boats and two larger steamships with funnels are moored along the harbour. A metal winch frame stands at the right, and a small open boat and pipes lie on the ground near the edge of the water.

And at Famagusta is one of the principal havens of the sea that is in the world; and there arrive Christian men and Saracens, and men of all nations." Sir John Maundeville-XIVth Century (Yoiage and Travaile).
