Engraving depicting a Dutch ship building yard with two vessels under construction, and completed vessels in the background. Various parts of the vessels and the shipbuilding apparatus are labeled with letters and numbers, and workmen are shown completing various tasks. In the foreground is a collection of spectators, with ship parts strewn over the ground around them, and a large dog inspecting the ground in the central foreground. The flags on the ships are colored in the Dutch colors; the rest of the image is uncolored. The engraver's name is printed on a spar in the foreground, and the publisher information is printed in the lower margin. At top right is printed "Pag. 5 No. 1".
