Well composed scene of whaling with a bark-rigged ship and five boats, two of which have been upset by a whale. The tryworks on the ship are working and the after sail is being used as a stabiliser.
The patina is a golden hue and the tooth itself is long and slender, almost perfect for the scene illustrated.
