Boat upset by whale

Forbes and Clark Collections Visualizing Maritime History Project

Colored engraving depicting an upturned rowboat, with two men clinging to it, on the water. Three other men are floundering about in the waves around the boat. Behind them, a whale raises its head to spout, and another boat--with both oars and a single sail--is visible. In the distance a large two-or-three-masted ship is visible. Text below the image reads "BOAT UPSET BY WHALE. Page 208."
