Bray Album: A Sailor bringing up his hammock, Pallas, Jany 75 (watercolour)
7341533 Bray Album: A Sailor bringing up his hammock, Pallas, Jany 75 (watercolour) by Bray, Gabriel (1750-1823); 18.5x13.1 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Gabriel Bray
In 1991 the Museum acquired a group of drawings by Gabriel Bray (1750-1823), the second lieutenant on HMS Pallas during a voyage to the coast of West Africa and the West Indies, 1774-1775, under Captain the Hon. William Cornwallis. The drawings are remarkable because they show aspects of everyday life on board a Royal Navy ship during the 1770s, the decade of Captain Cook's three voyages. The drawings are rare if not unique in showing sailors and marines about their daily duties - in this a example a sailor carrying his hammock. This drawing, or one like it, is also shown being inspected in Bray's sketchbook by James Cornwallis - a relative of the captain's who was also on the voyage - in a portrait drawing of him from the same group.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
