Pen-and-wash drawing of the ‘Mastiff’ in port broadside view, anchored beside a small barge at right. Part of an album by James Kennett Willson (PAI1012).
The ‘Mastiff’ is described as a brig in the ‘Progress Books’ and at no time is her rig noted as being changed. However, the ‘Beagle’ (which this picture has sometimes been identified as showing) is shown in Owen Stanley’s picture as a barque rigged when she was at Sydney in 1841, although she was officially described as a “brig”. The additional mast seems to have been considered to be temporary.
Mounted on page and in album with PAI1013-PAI1049, PAI1051-PAI1110.
