A coloured lithograph by William Daniell, after his painting in the Surrey Infantry Museum (DS45), depicting the burning of the British East Indiaman ‘Kent’ on 28 February 1825 when a casket of spirits accidentally caught on fire during her third voyage to Bengal and China. The ‘Kent’ is shown tipping towards the starboard side and viewed port quarter. A violent wave crashes on her port side. Near her stern, an overcrowded rescue boat can be seen receiving passengers, one of which is swinging aboard with the aid of ropes supported by the flagpole. Many other figures clamber towards the stern in an attempt to escape. Some figures can also be seen drifting in various areas of the water. In the right distance, a sailing vessel can be seen, possibly the British brigantine ‘Cambria’ which came to her rescue.
