The bow of the 'Royal Sovereign', 1701

The bow of the ‘Royal Sovereign’, 100-gun first-rate, built 1701, broken up 1768.

This is probably drawn, from right ahead, from a model. The paper has been folded and the starboard side is an offset from the port by rubbing on the back with a blunt instrument. See also PAG6272.
