Portrait of the 'Newcastle'
Portrait of the ‘Newcastle’, fourth rate, 54 guns. She was built in 1653, rebuilt in 1692 and wrecked in 1703.
She is viewed from abaft the port beam. The castle over the quarter-gallery identifies the ship as the ‘Newcastle’ with reasonable certainty as no other ship of the same size has a name appropriate to a castle. The two other drawings in the NMM inscribed ‘kastel’ (PAG6236, PAF6935) are of a different ship.
It is freely and accurately drawn without the assistance of an offset.
