Description
English: In the centre of this depiction, a group of men-of-war, in starboard-quarter view, are running towards the Straits of Gibraltar. They are all of Lord Howe's division and wear blue ensigns. The central ship is the 'Victory', 100 guns, flying Lord Howe's blue flag at the main. She has a cutter under her stern and another to starboard. In the right foreground is a cutter, starboard-bow view, with her sails down and a boat beside her. Beyond her, in the right background, is the van division, in starboard-quarter view, all with white ensigns. The 'Britannia', 100 guns, can be seen wearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Samuel Barrington. In the left foreground, in starboard-quarter view, is a rowing boat with a sail at her bows. Beyond her is a frigate, in starboard-quarter view, and the rear division with the blue flag of Vice-Admiral Milbank in the 'Ocean', 98 guns. In the background, between the rear and centre divisions, is the Franco-Spanish fleet at anchor in Algeciras Bay. In the background, between the centre and van divisions, can be seen the Rock of Gibraltar with cannon smoke rising from the Spanish side of it.
