Description

A view from high on a stone wall over a curved harbour basin. Masted sailing vessels and a vessel with a funnel lie moored at the right, and a large hulled boat sits on the mud at the centre, with small rowing boats drawn up on the shore in the foreground. A railway track curves along the water's edge, with sheds behind the quay and a long city wall across the background.
