Description
A view looking north-west into the Bocca Tigris or Bogue. The Anunghoy forts are on the right or eastern shore, that of South Wangtong Island on the left: North Wangtong, also with a fort, is invisible behind this at a distance of 900 yards with the higher mainland behind that and to the left. The channel between the Wangtong and Anunghoy side is only 750 yards wide, the forts forming the 'teeth' of the 'tiger's mouth'. In the distance here a western ship is coming down the river from Canton with the south end of Tiger Island to the left. The vessels in the foreground are in the very large and most southerly reach of the river before the outer headlands through which it joins the sea. The British ship may be a Royal Naval sloop of about 18 guns, despite the lack of a naval pennant, and is flying 'blue peter' (P-flag) at the main as an indication of being about to sail.
