Monochrome engraving of a view of New Bedford from the sea. At right is some sort of long shoal; at left is a three-master ship, viewed at a 45-degree angle; in the center of the composition are five men in a boat, one of whom is pulling on a line with some sort of round bob on the other end.
Below the image is printed the artist attributions, the printer, and the following text:
