The Entrance to St. John's Harbour
From the logbook of H.M.S. Pegasus, 1786. The Pegasus was commanded by Prince William Henry, later William IV, on his first voyage as Captain in 1786-1787. The drawing is by J.S.Meres, who served as schoolmaster on the Pegasus. It suggests a strategic British naval presence in Newfoundland.
