A simple depiction of a ship. The hull is rectangular. This graffito is disappearing from view.

A small representation of a ship. The ship graffito is simple in design. A row on cannon ports are represented by dots along the hull. Two masts are visible complete with shrouds. The ship's typology might be that of a galleon.

An elaborate and realistic ship graffito showing square mainsails, flying jibs and a gaff mizzen sail. The ship's typology seems to be an 18th century Brig.
