Sailing ships are depicted in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Soundings and anchorages also appear in the water. An inset at right provides a more detailed look at Gibraltar, especially its fortifications. The decorative cartouche at top includes the title on a lion skin stretched between two columns.
