IJmuiden gezien van het einde der Noordpier

On 19 November 1878, Dommershuizen paid a visit to IJmuiden, where he observed the shipping from the North Pier. He later worked his sketches up into this painting. In this work he depicts a frigate being towed from the North Sea Canal locks by a tugboat. After this ship canal was first opened, many ships still sailed for Den Helder. The steam-powered ships of the Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij (NSM) first used the new link with the North Sea in 1879.
