- Abstract
-
"Three figures on the after-deck: a naval officer pointing with a telescope to the left, looks round at a rough-looking elderly sailor who holds the helm, to say: "Now en't you a pretty fellow for a Pilot? to see Land and not know where we are!" The man answers: "Och my dear Jewel! only shew me the Old head of Kinsale, and I'll tell you where we are to an Inch!" A capable-looking sailor (left), hauling at a rope to reef a sail, looks towards the pilot with angry contempt. Sails, rigging, the lower part of a mast, and tossing waves complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
