An animated scene showing a yacht entering Plymouth in a lively sea, towing her small boat from the stern. A number of figures can be seen on the deck of the yacht as the sails are lowered. A trumpeter on board is shown announcing the arrival of the ship. On the right passengers in an overladen small boat observe the yacht's arrival keenly. Other shipping is shown heading towards the port and at anchor. The fanciful topography of the area demonstrates that the artist had never visited it and was working from a topographical engraving and also his imagination.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting by Ludolf Bakhuizen depicts an English yacht sailing into Plymouth in the late 17th century. The scene is filled with action as the yacht enters the lively sea, towing a small boat from its stern. Figures can be seen on deck, lowering sails and preparing for arrival.
A trumpeter announces the ship's presence, adding to the excitement of the moment. Onlookers in an overladen small boat eagerly observe the yacht's approach, while other ships head towards the port or anchor nearby.
Bakhuizen's imaginative depiction of Plymouth's topography showcases his skill as an artist, despite never having visited the area himself. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this historical moment to life, capturing a snapshot of maritime activity in 17th century England.
This painting not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also provides a glimpse into England's rich naval history and bustling coastal trade during this time period. It is a testament to Bakhuizen's talent and ability to transport viewers back in time through his masterful brushstrokes.
