Description

A portrait of the clipper ship 'Solent,' port-side, off a shore. The outline land and a fortress are in the left background. She carries a Union Jack on her foremast, a checkered flag on her mainmast, and a British ensign with a Union Jack in the canton. The fore course is in the midst of being unfurled; the rope that held the sail tightly furled are still visible on its right side.
