DescriptionA large stone fortress is located on an island off a mountainous coast. The fort has sloping walls and battlements with cannon ports. A Mexican flag flies from a square stone tower in the center. Another building is at the right. A round tower at the left may be a lighthouse. Four sailing ships, apparently warships, are in the water at the left. The ship at the far left flies an American flag.
