Replenishing the Ship's Larder with Codfish off the Newfoundland Coast

The image is a painting of a ship at sea. The ship has three masts with billowing sails. The sails are light-colored, and the ship's hull is brown with a lighter-colored trim. A large American flag flies from the left side of the ship, and a smaller blue flag flies from the top of the tallest mast. A whale breaches the water to the right of the ship, with water spraying high into the air. The whale is dark gray with a light-colored underbelly. The ocean is dark blue and choppy. In the background, there are several other ships on the horizon, and a flock of birds flies in the sky. The sky is light-colored with a pinkish hue near the horizon.
