This hand-colored woodcut print transports us back to colonial times in Jamaica, showcasing a dramatic scene of a sailing ship firing upon a fort. The image captures the essence of warfare and maritime history during the 17th and 18th centuries in the West Indies.

The ship dominates the foreground, its cannons ablaze as it engages in combat with the fort nestled on Jamaican soil. This visual representation offers a glimpse into the struggles faced by British colonies during this era. The setting is reminiscent of a bustling port city, with hints of palm trees swaying in the background against an expansive ocean backdrop. It serves as a reminder of Jamaica's rich history as both a strategic sea port and an important British colony. This evocative artwork invites viewers to embark on a journey through time, exploring not only naval warfare but also Caribbean island life under colonial rule. As we gaze upon this historical gem from North Wind Picture Archives, we are reminded of Jamaica's pivotal role within the British Empire and its significant contributions to Caribbean history
