| Description |
English: Gloucester engraved by R.Dodd from a drawing by F.P.Wedsted of a model executed by Jacob Berg A coloured aquatint showing two views of the 'Gloucester', a two-masted brig of 16 to 18 guns, engraved from a drawing of a ship's model. The main view shows the Gloucester's port side with square top sails set above gaff sails on both masts, and two jibs and a fore staysail at the bowsprit. She flies a white ensign and commissioning pennant, and a blue broad pennant with a white cross. The Danish courtesy flag may be explained by the fact that both the draughtsman and the model-maker were Danish prisoners-of-war. A smaller, stern, view of the Gloucester sailing away is depicted to the right of the main image. One gun deck can be seen with crew shown above, ranged along the upper (primary) deck. The Gloucester, which served on Lake Ontario, was captured by the Americans on 27th April 1813 and burnt at Sacketts Harbour on 29th May 1813. |
