Size of Engraving- 24cm. x 16cm.

This Engraving shows the "Canopus," lying off Black Horse Square, at Lisbon. The "Canopus," is French built, and is considered among sailors as one of the finest ships in the navy.  A score of ships have been buit from her model, but all are said to be inferior. She sails well, stows well, and is a fine sea-boat. It may be added that she is the only one of the fleet allowed to lie off Lisbon, specially to protect the Queen and the British subjects ; and, she has afforded refuge also to many of the insurgents who flew there to save their lives.

Condition is Very Good.
