The image depicts a maritime family and was suggested as a point of reference by the local bookseller Michael Moon. Although 'Boy on a Capstan' does not depict directly any figures from the Forbes image, Bluck's depiction is a similar representation of Whitehaven's fishing community, telling a story of the harbour's history and heritage.
