Description

Several sailing boats and a larger vessel with a deckhouse are moored in the harbour basin, with a railway track running along the quay in the foreground. A long stone wall runs across the left side, with low sheds and buildings beside it. Rowing boats are drawn up on the shore at the bottom, and low hills lie faintly under the sky.

Several tall-masted sailing vessels, some with sails set, lie moored on calm water on the right, and small rowing boats are drawn up on the shore in the foreground. A railway track curves along the shoreline on the left, past low sheds and a high wall running across the background.
