This is one of two drawings (along with PAH1902) both very broad in style, executed in rapid pencil. They have been approximately dated to 1700 by the style.

Here is a lee quarter view of a two-masted spritsail-rigged pink with the wind on the port quarter. There is another vessel depicted passing windward close-hauled on the starboard tack.

While this drawing is tentatively dated to 1700, other drawings were executed on the same sheet of paper in 1665.
