Koopman has often been called a painter of emotionalism. He found inspiration in the ocean and its storms, disasters, and boats. For this painting, he received a medal in 1904 at the St. Louis Exposition and was invited to exhibit it at the Venice International Art Exposition in 1910. He was an exhibitor at Paris, Munich, London, Venice, and American exhibitions.
