Etching depicting a view of a "Greenland-farer", or whaleship, at sea. The name "De GOEDE HOOP" is visible on her stern, and she flies the Dutch flag; the wind fills her sails as a crew on a whaleboat, at left, prepare to harpoon a spouting whale. Icebergs are visible on the horizon. With title, "E", and "11" printed in lower margin. The letter refers to the number of the volume of Groenewegen's works, and the number to its position in that volume.
