About this work

A hand-coloured print shows a crowded harbour scene with passengers climbing into rowing boats while a uniformed man in a blue coat gestures toward the water. Tall-masted ships and small sailing craft lie at anchor beyond a timber-framed waterfront building, with hills along the horizon. The work is attributed to Thomas Rowlandson and carries the caption referring to hiring a boat at Cowes Harbour to reach Portsmouth.
