| Description |
English: HMS 'Clyde' Arriving at Sheerness After the 'Nore' Mutiny, 30 May 1797.
The 'Clyde' is shown arriving at sunrise in the Medway, off Sheerness Dockyard. She is in the left middle distance, in port-bow view, on the starboard tack, flying a white ensign but with a red one hanging over her port quarter rail as a signal. Nearer, centre left, is a cutter in starboard-bow view, moored to a buoy and with a boat under her stern. In the left foreground is a large mooring buoy. On the right of the picture, against the rising sun, is a sheer hulk used for masting or de-masting ships, shown in bow and starboard-broadside view, with people waving to the 'Clyde' in her stern. Beyond the hulk is part of Sheerness Dockyard, with buildings, a ship on the stocks and a crowd of people waving on the fortifications. In the distance to the north-east ships of the mutinous fleet lie at anchor. The painting is one of two commemorating the Clyde's escape from the Nore under her captain, Charles Cunningham. The first depicts the daring night time escape. |
