Several fishing boats are shown leaving a Dutch shore. In the left foreground three men stand close to the water's edge. The two men on the far left hold baskets while the third carries a basket on his back with his feet in the shallow water. A barrel, roller, rudder and a length of wood have been arranged on the foreshore. In the shallows a small boeier, or coastal freighter, is being pushed off. A man standing in the boat attends to the mast and amidships the mainsail and sprit is about to be put up. Since the vessel has a wider leeboard than a weyschuit it can be identified as a boeier. In the centre background, starboard-broadside view, a Dutch ship is at anchor. Just off the groyne or breakwater on the right is a ship's barge pulling out to sea.
