Painting, oil painting, The Packet Boat Cumberland; A Storm on the Firth, Solway Firth off Cumberland, by Joseph Heard, about 1840.
A packet boat is tossed upon a stormy sea, its sails furled. The silvery glow of a full moon illuminates the troughs of the waves. Part of the boat's cargo of sacks has been swept overboard and floats beside and behind it.
