Naval shipping in Portsmouth Harbour, 1827

No. 60 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961)

Inscribed in the upper right corner 'in Portsmouth harbour 27 Augst/1827.'

The ship with the high stern in the centre of the drawing is not unlike the Odin, captured from the Danish in 1807, as depicted in Schetky’s watercolour of her (PAD9418), although the details of the stern construction are different.
