Description

Port broadside view of the 'Harriet' with a shoreline of steep cliffs and a frontal view of the bow of another ship in the background. The print is signed by the artist in plate, inscribed "No. 13" above the title, and is hand-colored. The 'Harriet' was owned by Lord Belfast and raced with success in the late 1820s. She was sold and was no longer owned by Lord Belfast when she won the King's Cup in 1834.
