Light to moderate time staining across sheet which is slightly more pronounced in some areas, especially those less-worked, bringing associated overall tempering of colour and some further likely light bleaching to the integrity of the green and some blues in particular. Cluster of surface imperfections? in sky immediately above far left hand side spire, running towards upper edge, but maybe workings of the artist? The odd tiny, dark-coloured speck to background, mostly near to central depicted ship. Tiny dark-coloured speck or debris to upper left hand corner. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.

The sale will also include a Private Collection of works by Myles Birkett Foster and George Weatherill, and the last remaining paintings from the T.B. & R. Jordan Collection of Staithes Artists.
