Description
English: The Apollo frigate, of 44 guns, going before the wind

The inscription on this print lists 'Apollo' as a frigate of 44 guns. However, she is listed, and apparently shown in the picture, as a 5th rate of 38 guns. She is depicted fully rigged in port broadside view. Another naval vessel sits on the horizon in the far distance to the left of the composition. 'Apollo' served in the French Revolutionary Wars, capturing two French ships during 1798. She was wrecked off the coast of Holland on 7 January, 1799, while pursuing a Dutch vessel. Hand-coloured; technique includes roulette work.
