JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER. Rockets And Blue Lights (Close At Hand) To Warn Steamboats Of Shoal Water, 1840. Creator: JMW Turner.

JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER. Rockets And Blue Lights (Close At Hand) To Warn Steamboats Of Shoal Water, 1840. Shows a storm raging in an English harbor town. Flares explode in the sky to alert ships to the location of shallow (shoal) water. On the shore huddled spectators stare out to sea, perhaps anxiously hoping their loved ones will survive the storm and return safely home.
