Vivace scena di carattere bellico che si svolge nella marina e sulla costa della baia di St. Jean e che si inquadra nel lungo dissidio tra francesi ed inglesi, durato quasi due secoli, per i diritti di pesca nel mare di Terranova, conservati dalla Francia anche dopo la definitiva attribuzione dell'isola alla Gran Bretagna con il trattato di Utrecht nel 1714. La legenda in calce illustra i movimenti della piccola squadra navale francese accorsa in difesa dei propri battelli da pesca, mentre sulla terraferma, in primo piano, sono raffigurati gli schieramenti delle truppe in assetto di guerra, compresa la batteria di cannoni che spara bordate, a destra.
