English yachts and a fleet at anchor

English yachts and a fleet at anchor. This is a badly rubbed drawing showing, in the right foreground, a stern view of a yacht at anchor flying the Admiralty flag as an ensign. Several boats are coming alongside. Another yacht lies close to on her starboard bow. In the left foreground, there is a port bow view of a third yacht. The fleet is at anchor in the background.

The drawing is a faint offset with a little wash added. It is approximately dated by the watermark.
