Description: | A depiction of part of the head and bulkhead on the starboard side, showing the figurehead of a crowned lion with a small figure on its back.
On the back is a very faint offset showing a royal yacht, possibly the ?Charlotte?, viewed from close on the starboard bow.
Inscribed ?sanwits?.
This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger, rapidly drawn in thick pencil. It has been approximately dated by the subject and style.
This appears to be the head of a two-decker and not a three-decker. It may be the detail of a two-decker of which there is a drawing in King?s College, Newcastle (neg.G/006035/7) incorrectly inscribed by van de Velde ?d sandwits?. It may be of the ?Breda?, which (like the ?Sandwich?) was built at Harwich in 1679.
Box Title: D48. M639-M657.
