This sepia print shows the whaling vessel 'Diana' stuck in ice in the Arctic Sea. The vessel has her sails set, save for the topsail and topgallant sails. Her bow is pointing to the left of the picture and there are a number of men standing on deck, looking toward the camera. There is a second vessel in the background, just to the left of Diana's prow.
