Dipinto of a ship sailing on starboard tack, located on the back wall of Bay 15, in the upper register. Most of the coloring has faded. Only the pointed stern and part of the keel are visible, both rendered in a very thick black line. From the few elements still extant, the elongated vessel seems to have a flat keel, and it can be probably be interpreted as a compact galley, though the interpretation is uncertain.
