Description: | In this graphite drawing, the HMS President is depicted at anchor in calm waters. All of her sails are set but hang limply; they are perhaps being aired out. All of the cannons are run out, possibly to dry. A trawler is sailing in the left foreground, and to the right of the President, a small sloop is tied to the stern. A rowboat with at least one person in it can be seen In the left background. The President is anchored off of an unidentified coast; the yardarm on the hill to the right of the ship indicates the presence of a fort. The artist has signed the initials H.V. on the bottom right of the print.
