Monochrome print showing a small boat which has been split in half. Each half is bobbing out of the water, and to each cling three men. In the right-hand side of the composition, the tail of a whale rises up ominously and another boat, with a man waving his hands in the air, is visible. In the left-hand background is a large ship with sails. In the bottom right corner is visible part of a stamp, most of which has been cut away; what is visible reads "THAMPTON B[UI?]" and "LON", possibly "Southampton" and "London".
