A well done, highly detailed sailors art work. Note the birds and a man in the water. Also there is a man in the bow with harpoon ready to be thrown while the others are frantically rowing and steering out of harms way.

It has a painted scene in the background with mountains, buildings and a ship.

The top cork is inscribed and reads: ” Whaling At Table Bay”
