page two
This painting, from a Christmas Card produced by the Navy League in 1966, was attributed to Monamy and described as The Landing of William of Orange at Torbay 5th November, 1688.
The subject seems plausible, but the attribution a little unlikely. The ship awaits identification.

70 x 106¼; signed; stern detail below
Compare these proportions of masts to hull with the next painting, below and at right, which seems more correct.
Left and above: details and signature of framed painting. The masts seem truncated and short for the hull.
