The image shows a group of old sailing ships at sea. There are seven ships, all of which are rigged with sails. Most of the ships are flying the British flag. The ships are sailing in a line, with the lead ship in the center of the image. The other ships are following in a line behind the lead ship. The ships are all moving at a relatively slow speed. The water is calm and there are no waves. The image is in black and white and has a sepia tone.
