'Attempt to Veer'; illustration to Falconer's 'The Shipwreck' (1811 ed., f. p. 101)
The eighth of a series of ten drawings, of which the collection holds nine (PAF5913–PAF5921). The printed description of the plate based on it, probably written by Pocock, reads: 'The Fore-stay-sail hoisted, is split in pieces; the Head-Yards are braced aback; and, lastly, the Mizen-mast is cut away, and dragging by the wreck of the rigging.' Signed by the artist and dated, lower left. For further details see the first of the series, PAF5913. Exhibited: NMM Pocock exhib. (1975) no. 40.
