A galliot at anchor

A lively line drawing of a galliot, taken from just before the starboard beam, with a skiff under her bows and another galliot beyond. There are three figures seated towards the stern. At the top of the page, in reference it seems to the galliot in the background, is the inscription ‘de ould swan’ (‘the old swan’).
