H.M.S. Hastings In the Malta Dockyard December 7 1840

A view of the Birgu (Vittoriosa) side of the Malta Dockyards, depicting the HMS Hastings being careened, her starboard side of her hull exposed for maintenance and repairs. The viewpoint shown of the Collegiate Church of St Lawrence (left background) in the skyline suggests this scene was based on a view from the eastern side of Senglea. In the left foreground are two men on a rowing boat, beside them a smaller one with a barrel in it.
Inscribed ‘H M S Hastings. In Malta Dockyard Decemeber 7 1840’.
