Title
No.1. Thetis on shore near Currituck Inlet, North Carolina Dec 23rd 1794... Cleopatra at anchor near her. Thisbe and Lynx answering private signals
Description
English: HMS Thetis aground near Currituck Inlet, North Carolina on 23 Dec 1794. Boats have been used to carry out 2 kedge anchors to haul the ship off, and these boats are now using lead lines to sound for deeper water. A further boat is hooked on to the stern of Thetis. This watercolour was painted by George Tobin, one of Thetis's lieutenants, and so can be presumed to be technically accurate. Thetis was got afloat again with the assistance of HMS Cleoptra (seen at anchor in this painting) and taken to Gosport, Virginia for repair.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1838, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
