Men stowing a topsail

Drawing of three men stowing a topsail. The topsail is viewed from the fore side, showing the leeches hauled up to the yard on the fore side and the bunt of the sail hanging down over the top.

The paper has been folded and an offset taken from the drawing above by rubbing on its back. It is very approximately dated by the style.
