A States yacht making for Dutch ships at anchor

A pen and grey ink drawing of, on the left, a States yacht in stern and starboard-quarter view with the wind on the port beam, making for Dutch ships (including a flagship) at anchor in port-broadside view in the distance. The yacht appears to be firing a salute to port. On the right a boat pulls towards the yacht, to intercept it, with a man standing in the bow with what is probably a boathook.
