label: Description
content: Recto of vertical sheet with sketches of two sailboats in shallows. The boat in the upper half of the sheet has many of its components fully rendered: the masst, boom with wrapped sail, rigging, rudder, wooden hull and dinghy are all identifiable. The boat's name is written across the side of the ship closest to the bow: IKWEI. The boat in the lower half of the sheet is rendered in less detail and seems further from the viewer. It is very similar to the boat above. A figure stands in the water to the right of the boat.
