Etching depicting a side view of a three-masted vessel at sea near a coast, whose trees and rooftops are visible in the background. The ship is surrounded by small boats, onto which men are unloading barrels, probably containing whale oil. The ship flies a Dutch flag at stern. With title, "C" , and "12" printed in lower margin. The letter refers to the number of the volume of Groenewegen's works, and the number to its position in that volume.
