Storck has taken a building that could be Rotterdam Cathedral and placed it in the centre of the background but, unlike the many accurately depicted vessels, the rest of the landscape around the banks of the river is imaginary. The soft glow of the sky seems more Mediterranean than Northern European. This is a painting that would have appealed to a collector, especially one who shared Storck’s knowledge of ships and his romantic vision of the sea.
