Mounts Bay gig

A port beam view of an unnamed Mounts Bay gig on a starboard reach with a helmsman and one crew member. The jib is patched and its luff slack; the unreefed standing lug mainsail is loose-footed and unusually small for the type of boat, and the mizzen stepped circa 2ft afore the transom is a spritsail.
