Specialist note

This watercolour of shipping in Falmouth harbour on a grey day has been painted from a distance, probably from the shore in front of Tuke's cottage at Pennance Point, Swanpool on the coast of Falmouth. His home gave him a great vantage point to see all the ships moored in the Carrick Roads waiting for orders.
