A ship's boat filled with rollicking prostitutes, cheering and lifting glasses as they are rowed towards a ship on the right extreme left, with guns projecting from port-holes; two women climb on board by a rope-ladder from a boat, watched by sailors and an officer, while from a window of the captain's cabin another woman looks out. Two other ships, one in full sail, are shown on the left

"Four young naval officers, two being mere boys and apparently midshipmen (though the scene is unlike the cramped squalor of the midshipmen's berth), dine at a tilting table, from which decanters, a capon, &c., have fallen to the ground. A cabin-boy struggles up the slanting desk with a ham. One of the very flimsy chairs is overturned. A gun projecting through a port-hole is marked 'Clyde'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A procession of characters riding fantastic velocipedes (see British Museum Satires No. 13399), in profile to the right, each an isolated figure, arranged in two rows divided by a horizontal line. Each machine is an appropriate object mounted on two wheels. [1] 'The Aldermans Hobby'. Fat, drink-blotched, and with gouty legs, he rides a turtle. [2] 'The Sailors Hobby'. He vigorously rides an anchor, despite a wooden leg. He has a pugnacious expression, and a long pigtail. [3] 'The Jews Hobby'. He has a beard and rides a bag of 'Old Clothes'. [4] 'The Doctors Hobby'. A very thin apothecary, a medicine-bottle in his pocket, rides a 'Mortar', using the pestle as a steering-rod. [5] 'The Ireishmans Hobby'. A peasant, with one shoe and stocking, a straw rope twisted round the other leg, rides a bull, holding it by the horns. Cf. (e.g.) British Museum Satires No. 5605, by Gillray. [6] 'John Bulls Hobby'. A jovial and paunchy fellow rides a huge round of beef, inscribed 'Rump of Beef 4p. lb.', the dish being on rollers. He holds up a tankard of 'Porter' and knife in his right hand, sticking a fork into the meat. [7] 'The Welchmans Hobby'. He rides a goat whose legs are planted on two disks inscribed 'Cheese'; he has a goat-like profile and in his hat is a leek. [8] 'The Real Dandy Hobby'. A dandy strides along on a correctly drawn machine. He wears breeches, full in the seat, with spurred top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue
