Print, with the above title in a decorative banner at the top (as often the case in Kip topographical engravings). It shown an assembly of Royal Naval vessels , including royal yachts, in the mouth of the Medway with Sheerness fort and dockyard behind, from the north, as fortified by Bernard de Gomme after the Dutch raid on the Medway of 1667. The square tower of the fort, with its cupola, on what would later be known as Garrison Point is to the left, rising over the 'Great Platform' (battery) with the dockyard's enclosing curtain wall running upriver from it. This is pierced by de Gomme's prominent new water gate, similar to that by him which still survives at Tilbury Fort. A dry-dock with an unmasted ship's hull in it is shown already in being in front of the gate, in an area which by the 1770s had been further developed for building and repair docks in reclaimed foreshore, with various other buildings between them including accommodation hulks sunk in the ground built up around them. All these features are well shown on the official model of the yard built in 1774 (SLR2148). [PvdM 5/15]
