H.M.S. Queen, Corfu Roads
As the title indicates, this coloured lithograph depicts the British naval vessel Queen, in starboard broadside view, at anchor, in the Corfu Roads. The sea is very calm and several flags hang limply from the mast heads and stern gaff. All the sails are furled and the lower rigging is entirely draped from bow to stern with drying hammocks. Low hills, rising to mountains, can be seen in the background.
