Description
English: Part of the Crew of the Abergavenny East Indiaman, delivered from their Perilous Situation

Hand-coloured aquatint print depicting the aftermath of the wreckage of the Earl of Abergavenny, this is an illustration in T. Tegg's "Accounts of Shipwrecks". The Earl of Abergavenny was heavily laden with over 400 passengers and a valuable cargo of porcelain and sterling worth £20,000. After various misadventures in the Chanel including a collision, the Abergavenny, having left Portsmouth and while being piloted through the Portland Roads on the 5th February during worsening weather and failing light, was driven onto the Shambles, a bank of sand and gravel about 1.9 miles (3km) out from Weymouth beach.
