DescriptionThe buildings of a seaport town line the harbor in the background. Most buildings appear to be houses or warehouses, but at least three churches are visible, one with a classical portico and a square tower with a clock in it, one with a cross on a square tower, and one with a tall steeple. A three-masted ship is on the ways at the left. An arched bridge leads across a stream or inlet at the right. A frame building at the far right, partially hidden by a tree, is an inn or tavern and has a hanging sign in front of it. A windmill is visible behind the sign. A rail fence leads down a grassy slope into the water. There appears to be a small pool of water in the grassy field in the right foreground. Numerous boats and sailing vessels are in the harbor. Some are docked at a long wharf. One vessel is careened on its side. A ship and a small sloop are under sail at the left, with a small sidewheel steamboat flying an American flag between them.
