This large and complex graffito will soon fade away entirely. Much of the sails and rigging are already gone or difficult to notice. In comparison, the hull remains fairly visible. It is decorated with a series of dots.

The ship depicted in this graffito has a substantial amount of detail in its rigging and sails. However, most of this is hard to identify nowadays. This ship’s hull is also decorated with dots and there are also some flags. This graffito has sustained surface damage.

This graffito is in great condition compared to others etched onto this chapel’s walls. Its detailed rigging is clearly visible along with the Order’s Standard at the stern.
