| Description |
English: Cutter stranded on a high rockThis slightly awkward drawing may be an opportunistic one, noting an incident about which it would be interesting to know more. The wrecked cutter has presumably been thrown up a considerable height onto the foreground rocks in a storm. This could only happen on a very exposed coast but the location – though again presumably in southern England – has not yet been identified. Seamen from another Royal Naval cutter, whose flag and upper works are shown lower right, have come up from the shore to salvage the wreck, with civilian spectators looking on. The drawing is one of three (PAF5902, PAF5906 and PAF5907) which were purchased through Colnaghi's, with an earlier series of ten by Pocock of incidents in the life of Nelson, as lot 213 in a Sotheby's sale of 29 April 1935. The other two drawings are clearly dated 1814, which is probably the case here though it may be 1811. Pocock has also signed the drawing, lower right. Exhibited: NMM Pocock exhib. (1975), no. 63. |
