The Arethusa Frigate scudding under Foresail in a STORM, with a View of Plymouth, and Maker Church at a distance.
Engraving depicting three-quarter bow view of a frigate flying the British naval jack at stern, with most of her sails furled, and under heavy wind. Five more ships are visible in the background; they are tilting in the choppy seas. At right, in the background, is a landmass with a town visible at its base and a tower atop a high hill. This is the church-tower of Maker Church, named for St. Macra.
