This painting depicts Whampoa Island and the anchorage, seen from Dane's Island. British, Danish, Dutch and Swedish ships can be seen in the channel. The same flags are represented on Whampoa Island beside the 'bankshalls', temporary structures in which ships equipment and provisions were stored. Some of the ships have had their upper masts removed as a safety measure during the long winter period spent here at anchor. On French Island at the left of the picture are the flags of pre-Revolutionary France and the Austro-Hungarian empire; 'Imperial' ships came to Canton between 1779 and 1787.
