EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching captures the 'Discovery' convict ship lying at Deptford, a vessel with a rich history that accompanied Captain Cook on his last voyage. Created by Edward William Cooke in 1829, this print is part of Cooke's 'Shipping and Craft' collection.
Despite the inscription stating that this ship was used by Cook, it actually belonged to Vancouver and was later converted into a convict hulk on the Thames. The intricate details of the shipbuilding process are beautifully depicted in this artwork, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of shipwrights during the 19th century.
The image transports us back to a time when England was at the forefront of maritime exploration and trade. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting every aspect of construction works taking place at the shipyard.
