Maritime: The launch of the Honourable East India Company ship 'Edinburgh' (1825).

The launch of the Honourable East India Company ship 'Edinburgh' (1825), painted by William John Huggins. The view is from a boat in the Thames looking roughly north, with the Blackwall mast house visible above the 'Edinburgh' on the edge of the Brunswick Dock. There appears to be a yacht with a figurehead representing 'Fame' and flying the Scottish saltire on the left, and a Trinity House yacht in the right foreground.
