Portrait of the 'Speedwell'
Portrait of the ‘Speedwell’ viewed from the starboard quarter, but only as far forward as the main chains.
This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger. It has been drawn, according to Robinson, with freedom and accuracy. The ship is shown high out of the water and without any guns; it is possible that the drawing was made about the same time as the ship was laid up in ordinary.
