Description: | This vignette depicts the paddle frigate HMS Terrible at sea. Her four funnels, two with smoke pouring out, are clearly visible on the upper deck. A human figure is discernable next to the second funnel from the right, and other figures are on deck near the bow of the ship; the artist possibly included them to provide a sense of scale. Faint outlines of gunports are visible on the ship's facing starboard side.
