Summary[edit]

Author
Bailey; W. E. Bailey
Description
English: 'Atalante' passing Sambro (Nova Scotia) at sunset

'Atalante' is depicted in the centre of the composition surrounded by three sailing boats. The coast of Sambro (Nova Scotia) provides the backdrop.

Inscribed: "HMS Atalante passing Sambro Nova Scotia at sunset" and on the back of the picture "W E B. Done when at school in 1851".

This drawing is apparently based on the picture engraved by Bailey used as an illustration opposite page 388 of Vol XXXI of the Naval Chronicle (January to June 1814). The description on p.388 refers to "His Majesty's late sloop the Atalante" as the 'Atalante' had been wrecked on 10th November 1813.
