An etching of a port-side view of a newly constructed frigate with 60 guns, a three-quarter starboard-side view of a frigate with 38 guns, and a starboard-side view of a cutter. There are minimal depictions of the context or setting. Thin, simple lines near the bottoms of the hulls and a faint horizon waterline indicates that the ships are in water. The text underneath the image identify the ships as frigates and a cutter.
This print is illustration No. 5 from 'Six Engraved Outlines of Ships of War from a First-rate to a Cutter' (London: N. Pocock, 1815) by Nicholas Pocock.
