No. 24 of 30 (PAH3772 - PAH3801)

HMS 'Newcastle' was a 4th rate of 60 guns (pitch pine-built) built by Wigram and Green at Blackwall and launched on 10 November 1813. The ship flies signal flags from the peak of her gaff, perhaps for identification, and a cutter is depicted on her port side.

The drawing is inscribed 'Newcastle frigate at Spithead May 7th 1814'.
