This painting depicts the settlement of Hobart on the Derwent River, below the impressive shape of Mount Wellington. Anchored in the harbour are several sailing and steam vessels of various nationalities, including a three-masted clipper ship flying an American flag and a paddle steamer, possibly the KANGAROO. A number of Hobart landmarks are also recognisable, including Constitution Dock, Victoria Dock, Cowgills windmill and St. Georges church.
