What does this mean?

The appraised work is a Maritime scene featuring a ship among rough waves against an ominous, gray sky. The painting appears to be oil on canvas, likely executed in the 20th century, and is signed illegibly in the lower right corner. The work appears in good condition overall, with possible minor accretions visible along the right side of the canvas recto and also along the upper left corner.
