The 'Cleveland' yacht? beating to windward
Viewed from abaft the port beam, the ‘Cleveland’ close-hauled on the starboard tack in a fresh breeze; the leech of the mainsail and the topsail shaking and the jib sheet checked; a flag at the masthed. Two ships in the right distance.
This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger. The yacht is shown rather too long and there is an 18th century look about her stern; although the drawing is skilfully done, it may be an 18th century copy.
