This print shows sailing ships clashing in turbulent waters. At the very top of the print, a horizon can be seen with more ships, and there is a distant shoreline by the top left corner. In the center, several large boats tilt on the water, several of them filled with passengers who wear high ruffled collars and tall feathered hats. Near the bottom left corner, a bearded man is seen in the water, alongside a sea creature that looks similar to a dolphin or small whale.
