The powerful finale finishes with the wave at its most magnificent form. A giant wave, rocking four boats with black hulls and white sails. On the wave, the MKČ intials are arranged in bubbles. Behind this wave, other rising waves are visible. This reminds of the "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" (1831) by Japanese artist Hokusai.
