The Prince of Orange and Princess Mary landing at Ter Heide, 9 December 1677
No.4.
Here, two yachts lie at anchor, saluting as the Prince and Princess are towed ashore in a barge in the right foreground. A bow view of the ‘Mary’ with barges is positioned to port and a pink lies next to it to starboard. In the centre, a barge is pulling towards the ‘Mary’. Further to the left is a broadside view of the ‘Charlotte’ (de siarlet) with a pink coming alongside. Both the ‘Mary’ and the ‘Charlotte’ still fly standards. Yachts on the left of the composition have been identified as the ‘Anne’ (de Anne), the ‘Katherine’ (de katarijne) and the ‘Portsmouth’ (de portsmout). In the centre of the drawing is the ‘Charles’ (de siarles) and on the right, the ‘Navy’ (navy Jacht) with the ‘Greyhound’ (grahont) furling sails.
