notes:
This image is part of the narrative called Relation du Naufrage d'un Brigantin Anglois, sur les côtes de l'Isle Royale, à l'entrée du golfe de Saint-Laurent, dans l'Amérique septentrionale, en 1780. An English ship and schooner left Quebec for New York on November 17, 1780. They met with six days of contrary winds, a snow storm, and growing areas of ice. The narrator, S.W. Prenties, accused the captain and crew of dereliction of duty. The schooner and its crew were lost, and the main ship ran aground, forcing the crew to make its way to land in a boat. In January 1781, six of the survivors took the damaged boat to look for help along the coast. In February, two native Americans discovered them. Artist is probably Clément Pierre Marillier, French illustrator and printmaker, 1740-1808. Engraver is probably Jean-Baptiste Patas, French printmaker, 1744-1802.
