A dramatic naval scene showing the twelve members of the crew of HMS Centaur taking to one of the ship's pinnaces and attempting to push away from their ship as it founders. HMS Centaur, a French frigate captured during the Battle of Lagos in 1759, was one of a fleet escorting prizes from the Battle of the Saintes back to Britain from Jamaica when the 1782 Central Atlantic hurricane hit off Newfoundland.

It is believed that 3,500 lives were lost from the various ships of the fleet. The painting, now lost, was exhibited at the Royal Academyin 1784.
