A regatta off Gosport by the boys of Dr Burney's Academy
The view looks across Portsmouth harbour from Gosport with the semaphore tower on the dockyard buildings at centre and HMS 'Victory' to the right, towards the harbour entrance. A rowing race is in progress with two four-man boats to the left rowing with pairs of oars and two larger 14-man boats at centre, one oar to a man (so seven a side). The left boat of each pair is crewed by figures in light dress wearing sennet (straw) hats: the right boat of each pair appears to be manned by figures in probably blue dress and peaked caps, that at far right also with six more as passengers in the stern, plus the coxswain. The dress of the figures wearing straw hats suggests they might be boys from ships in the harbour, or young seamen. Boys in the dark uniform and peaked caps also watch from the beach, with a dog and other adult spectators, one a seaman leaning against a stanchion below the flagpole also shown at left. Other pleasure craft ply in the harbour behind.
