View of a boatyard with two men talking on a dock in the foreground, and a group of figures clustered around a boat at the waterline behind them. At left is a small, dark hut with spars and stones stacked by it. In the far distance, seemingly on the other side of a large divide, the white cliffs of Dover rise up high above the foreground scene, and a white castle or fortification is visible atop them. The pale, lofty towers and cliffs form a stark contrast with the dark, quotidian dock scene and the workmen within it. Title and production information printed in lower margin.
