A port-side view of Charles II's royal barge, carrying Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's coffin upriver. Rowed by ten sailors from the 'Victory', it travelled from Royal Hospital, Greenwich (where it had been lying-in-state for three days) to the Admiralty in Whitehall, where it would stay overnight before the state funeral at St Paul's Cathedral. The sheet was published separately less than two weeks after the event, as part of a series of mementos.
