Description

View of three royal navy ships in different angles as seen from the coast in the foreground. Picturesque classical ruins are to the left and men in contemporary dress are on the coast. The largest ship in the center displays its ornate stern, the ship on the right has the head facing the coast, and the ship on the left displays its port side. There are many more ships in the background. This print is plate 4 from a series titled, 'Twenty-two prints several of the capital ships of his Majesties Royal Navy with variety of other pieces.'
