This seascape depicts the view from the rigging of a sailing ship on a stormy sea. Men are holding onto the rigging, and one man is hanging from a winch on a rope. This work, painted when Brangwyn was around 20 years old, dates to the earliest phase of his work when he painted a number of traditional subjects about the sea and life on the seas.
