label: Description
content: Perspective view of ships caught in a storm in the St. Lawrence River. At left center, a ship is tossed by turbulent waves, leaning dramatically to the left. A bolt of lightning strikes the boat, and several of its sails are torn. The windows along the front side of the ship are cut out, with fabric visible through the openings. Another storm-tossed ship is visible in the distance. At right, two women are perched on a rocky outcropping. One stands with her hands clasped, skirt and apron billowing around her. The other reclines along the rock, crying and holding a handkerchief to her face. Storm clouds fill the sky, and the portion of sky along the top margin is colored in vivid blue.
