Smuggling lugger, chased and taken by ‘Andromeda’
Pen-and-ink sketch of a three-masted lugger, with grey wash on the sails and hull and in the sea. An inscription beneath the image reads: ‘Smuggling Lugger chased & taken by Andromeda’.
The sketch is part of an album containing fifty-seven drawings (PAH4886–PAH4943) created by British naval officer Aiskew Paffard Hollis (1764–1844) during the late 1780s and the 1790s. The majority relate to his service as a lieutenant in ‘Pegase’ in 1785–90, in ‘Andromeda’ in 1790–93 and in ‘Queen’ in 1793–96. Included are portraits of Hollis’s shipmates, often with humorous captions, as well as scenes of everyday life ashore and afloat. This sketch is mounted on the same page as PAH4890.
