On the left, a port bow view of a ketch-rigged royal yacht at anchor, firing a salute with her starboard guns. Two other yachts astern of her are partly concealed by the smoke. On the right, two state barges, one of them partly concealed by smoke, pulling towards the yacht. In the foreground, a port broadside view of a wherry with four men in it.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger, with pen and brown ink over slight pencil.
