Uncolored engraving depicting ships at sea, flying the Dutch flag. The two foreground ships are shown in profile, with the leftmost seen in bow view, and the rightmost in stern view. More ships fill the background, and at far right is a stone wall, indicating the vessels are proximal to a port. The vessel shown in stern view is flying a flag with a rampant lion holding what appear to be two arrows in one paw, and an indistinct object in the other. This is likely the Dutch national coat of arms. Under the lion are the letters L. B.
