The canvas is lined and on what is probably its original stretcher, which is providing good support. Under UV light there is evidence of a small repaired tear to the sky between the two ships. There is another area of restoration to a possible small puncture to the sky upper left of the ship in the distance. There are further areas of retouching to the ensign of the main ship and the sails and small areas to the hulls of both ships. There are further scatterings of retouching predominantly to the sea and sky. A wash has been applied to the sky and there are small areas of retouching to frame abrasions at the edges.
