Stocks and provision are loaded onto the boats. The helmets being carried by the men are a four-paneled close-fitting helmet of the Carolingian Spangenhelm design with a conical crown. In this scene, we see men carrying swords, helmets, spears and armour to the boats. The building could be representative of the abbey at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Later, the English destroyed the abbey and cloister in order to strengthen the nearby Saint Valery castle. In 1431, Joan of Arc was held prisoner in the local prison where she was then conveyed to Rouen and burnt at the stake. The cell in which she stayed can still be found near part of the old village walls.
