Color lithograph depicting a ship, flying the American flag and with the name Oscar printed upon it, in a harbor. On board ship, there is a fight: men are brandishing axes and aiming muskets. Most of the figures appear to be white, but one, who stands on the right side of the ship, appears to be black. There is also a boat on the water. In the background are mountains. In the foreground are several houses, surrounded by trees, and at right, a church.
Text printed in the lower margin reads:

View of the Barque Oscar of Sag-Harbour, Capt. Isaac Ludlow. __ Mutiny at Ilha Grande Aug 18th 1845. In which one of the crew Leonard A. Curtis was instantly shot."
