A view of a beach with a cutter, starboard side, in the sea on the left. Men on the beach unload packages from boats on the shore. The beach has a cave under a large cliff on the right. The scene is in an oval within a rectangular border. The corners of the rectangle are filled in with a small grid pattern. This print is from a series of paintings after Kitchingman of a cutter from its construction until its wreck in a storm, which were then in the collection of Mr. Newton (Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol). The descriptive line, "From an Original Picture in the Possession of Mr. Newton," under the title and present in the same prints of the same series is missing. The collector, Arthur H. Clark, used this print from his collection to illustrate his book 'The History of Yachting, 1600-1815' (New York & London: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1904), 174.
