Description: | We are probably looking east along the Solent, with the town of Lymington on the left, with the entrance to Lymington River and the harbour. On the right-hand side is Walhampton. The prominent white building in the centre could be the Bath House, now the base of Lymington Town Sailing Club. The beacon on the left-hand of the print is probably 'Jack in the Basket'. This was the outside beacon of Lymington, and marks the entrance to the harbour. Captain Edwards of HMS Pandora took his departure from this beacon when he sailed in 1790 to search the Pacific for the mutineers of the Bounty.
