The 'Eendracht' at anchor with a ship sailing past firing a salute

The ‘Eendracht’ at anchor with a ship sailing past firing a salute, she is viewed from the starboard quarter. In the centre of this drawing, there is a weather bow view of a large ship under fore course, mizzen and topsails, broad on the port tack, passing close to windward of the ‘Eendracht’, identified by the lion on the tafferel and flag and pendant at the main.

Both ships are firing salutes. On the right is a boat and part of a galjoot. Beyond, there are several other ships including one with a flag and a pendant to the fore.
