Title “Floundering Masted Ships in Stormy Seas off headland being rescued with distant Abbey beyond” By William Henry Williamson.

Subject seascape marine view of 2 floundering sinking sailing ships that have been wrecked suffering severe damage in the storm, the first is a larger 3 masted sailing ship having lost 1 of its masts on the forward bow area which has broken off and can be seen floating away partially submerged on the high stormy seas.

Help is near as a smaller rescue ship with a light red main single sail is carefully navigating close to the bow of the distressed ship, which is about to rescue surviving sailor crew.
You can see crew figures in the rescue boat, further over to the right is another smaller ship sinking, above with dark storm cloud sky with a couple lighter patches shining through also with seagulls flying overhead. further over to the right you can see view headland with an abbey building in the distance. In the lower bottom foreground area further headland with 3 figures watching the action going on,a 4th figure is preparing extra rescue rope.
A fascinating combination of stormy skies above & crashing rolling seas all around the floundering vessels.
