The barque Helvellin

Two views of the barque Helvellyn sailing on lively waves: starboard view (left) and port-quarter view on port tack (right). A mountainous landscape with a lighthouse features in the background to the right of the starboard view. Another lighthouse features on an island to the left of the image. Other vessels of both the sailing and steam variety feature in the distance.
