The image depicts a dramatic scene of the ship battling against raging waves amidst a fierce storm near the island of Candia. The artist from the English School skillfully captures the intensity and power of nature as dark clouds loom overhead and crashing waves threaten to engulf the vessel. The Princess Royal Steam-Ship stands tall, its sturdy structure defying the elements, while sailors scramble to secure rigging and hold on for dear life.
