Summary:

Dated and signed 'April 75 AVprGB' (to the like by Gabriel Bray). This was probably sketched on the 'Pallas's' transatlantic passage from Africa to Barbados, from 4 April to 31 May 1775. The location in the ship is probably almost the same as in PAJ2023, on the port side of the main gundeck forward hatch, looking forward, with the port anchor cable snaking out of the lower foreground and temporarily hoisted overhead, out of the way while making passage. The forward companionway rises to the deck above on the right. The seaman on the left is sitting in a sea chest marked 'CDN 17' (probably CD No. 17), his number and place in the ship.
