A royal yacht with a fleet getting under way in a breeze
A royal yacht can be seen in the foreground flying the Royal Standard. She is accompanied by a larger ship to the right. A tower is visible on the shore on the far right. The tower of a fort is visible on the land. In amongst the other ships of the fleet the one on the left is firing a salute. A ship’s boat laden with passengers can be seen in the foreground on the left.
Scenes of royal yachts were very popular. Under naval protection, William III, George I and George II each crossed the channel several times to visit the Continent. This painting, from about 1720, is one of a pair with BHC0952.
