Description: A large European ship is anchored near the coast. Several Tupinambá people in a canoe float alongside the ship, with two European men in the canoe communicating with the men on the ship. There are two other canoes nearby, and two large sea creatures swim in the open water. A group of European men have used a rowboat to go ashore. The rowboat is tied to a stake along the shoreline and the men gather around a large bonfire.
