A colored lithograph depicting an evening stormy sea. The schooner-rigged, pilot boat in the left foreground waits as men in a rowboat head toward the ice-covered clipper ship in the background with a pilot. Pilot boats accompanied other vessels through unpredictable and treacherous waters sometimes delivering skilled pilots to steer vessels to safety.
