More about this scene
This spectacular swell, stirred up by the prevailing south-westerly winds, demonstrates not only the need for the massive solidity of these stone and wooden jetties against the power of the sea, but also gives a good impression of the difficulties faced by the masters of sailing vessels in negotiating the narrow entrance to the harbour, particularly in times of heavy weather.
