Vignette from the 'Naval Chronicle'. A stern view of both the Doris and the Hoche, both running before the wind towards a coastline. The captured French Le Hoche, although towed by the Doris, has her main sails hoisted but upper yards missing, and is flying the Union Jack flag. The smaller Doris, on the left of the image, has her lower courses and top sails raised but not top gallants.
The Hoche was captured by Sir John Warren, in HMS Robust, on 12th October 1798 and was towed by HMS Doris into Lough Swilly, County Donegal, Ireland, which is presumably the coastline seen in this image.
