- Abstract
-
"Two Thames watermen stand on the river bank gaping at the explosion of a steam packet-boat, whose stern is inscribed 'For Richmond'. Wreckage flies into the air carrying with it a number of passengers, men and women, who are flung about in a dense cloud of steam high above the boat. A lady falls near an elegant wooden seat, a boy sits astride a funnel. Against the bank lies the watermen's wherry, the carved back behind the cushioned seat is inscribed: 'The Swiftsure T. Tugg Lambeth'. One says: "My Eye Ned there they go!!" The other: "Aye and a going rather out of the Road! d--ce they are got into Ayrshire insead [sic] of Surry!!""--British Museum online catalogue
