About this work

An engraved print shows the launch of a large three-masted East Indiaman from a shipyard, with its stern lifting into the water while a dense crowd watches from the quay and boats. Union flags flutter from masts of the ships in the harbour, and a smaller vessel with furled sails sits in the foreground.
