- Abstract:
- "The stern of one of the hoys from London to Margate, with passengers suffering from the effects of a fresh breeze. The steersman, leaning against the tiller, holds up a mug of frothing beer. The eight passengers are in various stages of distress and sea-sickness, except for a naval officer with a wooden leg who holds his wife's forehead and pours the contents of a bottle on her head; a sailor boy proffers a bucket to this couple. A man's hat and wig blow overboard, as does a young woman's large hat."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Sir William Curtis (left), grossly obese, wearing quasi-nautical dress, dines in the cabin of his yacht. The table is littered with wine-glasses; a dish contains a bare bone. Behind his chair is a pile of empty bottles. His broken pipe lies on the ground. He has a carbuncled nose, wears a small straw hat and striped trousers, with blue coat. He says to a servant who takes a bottle of wine from a large hamper: "John, I vonder if there ever vas since the Creation an Alderman possessed of so much courage as me (Zounds! what noise is that? Oh it's only the Vind,) to come to go into real earnest Danger, & all for one's pleasure! which is more than any other Officer in the whole of this here Fleet or Army can say, now there's your Seizures [Caesars], I thinks there were ten or a Dozen on 'em, then there's your Pitolomies & Cannibles & Poly-buss's & Eckserkses [Xerxes's] and all the rest of the bunch of Roman Generals -you never reads of any Alderman going out in any of their Exhibitions! no more Lord Mayors neither! & thats a bold word to say, now John we must 'bout Ship Speedy & soon ...for we dont know but one of Bonyparts D-d Bullets may get in to one of us then that would be a Bullet in [Bulletin] that ve dont Vant but how do we stand for Bubb & Grubb & Grape Shot?" The servant, a rough-looking fellow wearing a night-cap and apron, answers: "Why your Honor the Brown Stout is all gone, there is nothing left but the wing of a Turkey & Ham bone & a Bottle of Red --herefore as how we must steer speedily & soon for Port. Behind Curtis's head hangs a picture of the façade of a two-storied house: 'A view of Jacobs well'. On the right is a window through which are seen the sea and ships."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Sailors carouse in a drunken orgy between decks; hammocks are slung from the roof and drunken sailors vomit over the sides into the crowd. Musicians play fiddles and drums. Men and women drink and dance. A negro fiddles; a Jew sits on the ground ready to receive the watch which a woman steals from a sailor as she sits stirring a bowl on a box labeled "T. Ockham'. A marine kicks over a bucket labeled with the ships name as he spills the contents of his mug onto a barefoot boy who in turn pours the contents of his kettle onto a dog. To the left is a large keg of rum. The scene is watched by smiling officers (left), among whom is Lord Cochrane. This wartime scene is called to mind by the sight of the frigate 'Peranga' lying off Spithead. See British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- A view of wartime merriment: A procession of sailors and their women, escorted by fiddlers, passes a background of shops towards a gateway across the end of the street (left). The purveyor of the jollification, a sailor who has inherited money, sits astride a cask of 'real Jamaica' supported on poles carried by sailors, who wave hat and tankard towards the crowded first-floor windows. Men and women dance along the street. There are many incidents. A Jew, talking to another Jew outside a shop placarded 'Moses Slop-Shop', has his hat twitched off by the cane of a sailor who leans from above the doorway. The sailors carry an Ensign flag and a flag inscribed 'Leander', and are making for the Point. See British Museum catalogue
