Engraved plan in the form of a cross-section of a ship's hull, 308 x 199mm. Some creasing and soiling to margins.
A French explanation of the English innovation of cramming unmanned merchant ships with incendiaries, used to destroy harbour defences. Admiral John Benbow arrived off St. Malo, a walled port city in Brittany, in the middle of November 1693 and immediately started firing mortars over the wall in to the town and among the sheltering French ships. This continued for three days and on the fourth night he prepared to send in the first Infernal ever used by the Royal Navy. Benbow intended to manoeuvre the barque under the town's sea wall but it struck a rock and the engineers were forced to light the fuses and row for their lives. The vessel burned for some time but eventually blew up. The force of the explosion rocked the town like an earthquake. It blew the roofs off three hundred houses and broke all the glass and earthenware for miles around. The capstan, which weighed two hundred pounds, flew in to the air and, when it landed, completely levelled a house. Large parts of the sea wall collapsed. If Benbow had had a force of Marines he would undoubtedly have been able to take the town. He was given the task of repeating his success at Dunkirk but the Infernal proved less effective and the Admiralty dropped their use.

The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans stand facing each other; the little Duke staggering under an ornamental basket which supports a side of bacon, inscribed 'Best Wiltshire' . The Duchess holds on her shoulder a cutter in which are seated six oarsmen with oars held erect, and a helmsman. The Duke is dressed as Grand Falconer and wears a hood with bells indicating both a fool's cap and the hood and bells of falconry. In 1827 William Beauclerk, 9th Duke of St Albans, married Harriet Mellon, widow of the banker Thomas Coutts. An extremely wealthy former actress, she was 23 years older than her husband, giving ammunition to the satirists. The following year, to celebrate their anniversary, they held a reception, attended by two royal dukes and Prince Leopold (seen on the left). The Duke presented his wife with a silver fruit basket on which was engraved a flitch of bacon; the Duchess then announced her gift of a six-oared cutter called The Falcon, and the boatmen in their liveries made an appearance.
