Hookers and luggers becalmed

Below, a port quarter view of a hooker with her square-sail hoisted half-mast; on her starboard beam, a lugger rigged with a small foremast, viewed from the starboard quarter. Above, two luggers with sails furled, one from dead astern, the other from the port quarter; a hooker on the right. Two other craft are shown, possibly hookers with topsails.

This is an unsigned pen and brown ink drawing by the Younger.
