Hobah Falmouth. C. Lamey, Master

The drawing is watercoloured with pen outline and is of the gaff-rigged Falmouth ketch, Hobah, in full sail on a port tack. She is flying the red ensign on the mizzen gaff and a pennant at the top of the main mast. Two figures are visible on the deck, where a small tender is also stowed. The inscription indicates that Charles Lamey was the master. On the far right horizon is a lighthouse, while on the far left of the drawing is another ketch with company logo S/W on the main sail.
