A ketch before the wind and another close-hauled

A raid drawing showing to the right a starboard broadside view of a small ketch rigged with a standing gaff mainsail. Under her stern, the lee bow view of a vessel (probably also a ketch) close-hauled on the starboard tack.

This is a pencil drawing by the Younger, with the false signature ‘W V V f’.
