Description: | The ship was launched in 1682 and is is flying the Royal Standard of William III which gives the approximate date of the painting. It has previously been described as 'style of ' Sailmaker, but this is practically meaningless. On quality there is no reason to doubt the attribution and no identified alternative has yet been suggested. The composition is also very simlar to a print after Sailmaker identified as showing the 'Sovereign' in her final form (PAI6674). [PvdM 11/11]
