This ship is viewed from the starboard quarter as she is under way. The ensign and masts have been added to the offset but no yards – the spars from which sails are set – are depicted.

The ‘Tiger’ was rebuilt in 1681 and this drawing illustrates the new ‘Tiger.’ The ship was rebuilt with the royal arms in a small panel above the row of stern windows, in place of a single large royal coat of arms. Instead of a ship’s badge, the new ‘Tiger’ had a quarter-gallery (a balcony-like structure coming out of the ship’s stern). In addition, the ship also had wreathed ports in the place of square decorated ones.

There are several comparable drawings of the ‘Tiger’ in the Boymans Museum, Rotterdam. One is a drawing of the old ‘Tiger’ (built 1647), dating to 1676 (MB 1866/ T 387) and showing the ship from slightly abaft the port beam. There are three other depictions of the new ‘Tiger’: a port quarter view (MB 1866/ T 356); a starboard bow view (MB 1866/ T 357); and a port bow view (MB 1866/T 355). This is a faint offset, rubbed on the back in the same direction as the original in the Ingram Collection (presumably PAG6250), which means that it is presumably the second offset. It has been dated by its subject and watermark.
