Ships in a Gale is an oil by Unknown, held at Nationalmuseum.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene of ships struggling in a stormy sea. The vessels are shown at various angles, with their sails torn and their hulls battered by the waves. In the foreground, a ship is being tossed about, its mast broken and its crew clinging to the deck for dear life. The background of the painting is a dark, turbulent sky with thick clouds and lightning illuminating the scene. The overall mood of the painting is one of chaos and danger, with the ships and their crews fighting for survival in the face of the raging storm.
