Description: | On the right, a port bow view of a ship bearing up before the wind with her main topsail atrip and fore topsail half-mast high. In the background there are four other ships still at anchor, two lying head to wind and two others across the wind.
This is a pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, signed in brown ink with part of the signature ?W.V.VJ?. It is a faint drawing with pencil-work added by a later hand, particularly to the ship on the right.
