A sketch of a seascape from the deck of the steamer, 'Umberleigh'. Everett has used colour and form to create a dramatic effect, flattening planes and reducing details. The dark palette suggests nightfall on the deep ocean, evoking attendant feelings of solitariness, heightened sensations and fear of the unknown. The powerful effect is endorsed by the dramatic streak of vivid yellow slashed through the grey forms of the clouds. Everett sailed on the 'Umberleigh' from Barry, Wales, to Vancouver, Canada, from December 1933 to March 1934. The voyage afforded plenty of opportunity to paint and he recorded that, four days out from Barry, they saw the sun every day until they reached the Panama Canal. He regarded these as excellent conditions for painting with plenty of opportunity for colour and effect.
