A rapid sketch from the 'Birkdale' showing the effect of the sun on the sea and sky. The sea is loosely painted with small brushstrokes to indicate the movement of the waves. The sky is shown as a band of lilac tones close to the horizon, broken up by the thickly applied bright lemon paint representing the sun. The sea is streaked with horizontal dashes of colour with the reflections of the sun on the surface of the water. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920. It was his first journey after the First World War. The 'Birkdale' was due to take sulphur from Texas to the Cape, but when she arrived in Texas the ship was re-chartered to Australia and so Everett reluctantly left her and came home by steamer.
