A port quarter view of the five-masted barque Potosi (1895) under full sail in calm seas. The sails are at an angle to starboard to catch the wind passing over the port quarter. The after flying jibs are set between the jigger and mizzen masts. The top of the mizzen mast is just out of the phototgraph and the horizon is at an angle. The photograph was taken from the water and is slightly unsharp.
