This print - formerly unattributed and thought to be about 1714 - is a plate by de Bruyn (or van Bruyn) from his travel book published in English as 'A Voyage to the Levant' (London 1702), though it came out in Dutch a little earlier, being printed in Delft in 1698. The vessel on the right may be the ship he went in, the 'Golden Friar' ('De Goude Monnik'). This is variably recorded in Dutch sources as the 'Gouden Munninck' or the 'Vergulde [gilded] Munnik' or the 'Munnik'. In 1664-5 - assuming it was the same vessel, not a previous one - it measured 143 x 31 feet (probably Amsterdam feet of 28.31 cm) and had 28 guns. It was a ‘straatvaarder’ (i.e. Straits of Gibraltar ship) operating to the Mediterranean.

A 'Vergulde Munnik', was in Alexandretta in 1680 and a ship (probably the same but simply called the 'Munnik' ) was in Smyrna in 1671, and in 1682 and 1683 had Aleppo as its destination, which must presumably imply Alexandretta as its outport (modern Iskenderun). Since the captain on de Bruyn's voyage appears to have been Adriano Voshol, who sailed ‘per Trappani’ (i.e. via Trapani in western Sicily) to Livorno on 29 May 1684. The print was subject of an article by Michael J. K. Walsh in the 'Mariner's Mirror', vol. 98, no.4 (2012), pp. 448-66, entitled 'Othello, "Turn[ing] Turks" and Cornelis de Bruyn's Copperplate of the Ottoman Port of Famagusta in the Seventeenth Century'.
