A second ship is seen just beyond it to the right and a plume of canon smoke is visible on the horizon inbetween the two ships. The masts of many other vessels can be seen in the distance to the left. Two seagulls hover around a buoy in the foreground. The sky appears hazy with grey smoke rising from the distant battle.
