An English ship going about in a strong breeze

A very free drawing showing on the right a lee bow view of a ship in a strong breeze on the port tack under fore course, mizzen and topsails; tacks and sheets of the fore course are raised and the topsail is shaking. Under her stern, a ship close-hauled on the starboard tack.

This is a pencil drawing by the Younger, signed ‘W.V.VJ.’
