Cape of Good Hope, c.1731
Table Mountain, flanked by two other lofty hills, dominates the picture. On the shore is seen a walled fort, from which flies the Dutch flag. To the right is another fortified building, and behind are a number of warehouses or dwellings. In the roads, besides several smaller vessels and boats, lie three large ships flying Dutch colours: whilst in the immediate foreground the red ensign floats from the stern of a British vessel, which is saluting on arrival.
