An impressionistic sketch of a seascape looking towards an empty horizon, from the deck of the 'Birkdale'. The artist has concentrated on the bank of cloud on the right towards the horizon and uses colour to convey meaning. The sea is shown dark green at the horizon to contrast with the purple and yellow in the sky. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920. It was his first journey after the First World War. The 'Birkdale' was due to take sulphur from Texas to the Cape, but when she arrived in Texas the ship was re-chartered to Australia and so Everett reluctantly left her and came home by steamer. The 'Birkdale', built in 1892, was the last barque to fly the red ensign and spent nearly all her working life in the Chilean nitrate trade.
