Catalogue entry

Finberg evidently failed to spot this very slight sketch, which is a continuation of the sketch on folio 29 verso (D05475; Turner Bequest LXXXIX 22a) for which see catalogue entry. It is a rough outline of the Spanish flagship Santissima Trinidad (for which see folio 21 verso, D05458; Turner Bequest LXXXIX 12) and another ship, perhaps the Bucentaure.
