Study of a hooker

This is a very free drawing, executed in black chalk and showing a hooker aground. She is seen from close on the port bow. The positions of her masts are indicated. The drawing is related to PAG6269 which shows only the port bow of the vessel. Similarly, another drawing in the NMM, PAF6678, depicts a hooker from close on the starboard bow and is probably an offset made at the same time as PAH1908.
