The color lithograph beautifully captures the grandeur and power of this historic vessel, which played a pivotal role in shaping naval history. Admiral Anson, a distinguished British officer of the Royal Navy, embarked on this daring expedition with a crew of brave sailors, venturing into uncharted waters and facing treacherous storms along their journey.
