Description
Hyppolyte-Joseph Cuvillier (1803 St-Omer (Pas-De-Calais) - 1876 ibid.) attributed: Sailing ship retrieving keel on the beach Dry dock on the coast, 1853, Pencil

Technique: White heightened Pencil on Paper, mounted on Paper

Inscription: Lower right signed: "A. Cuvillier". lower left inscribed by the artist's hand: "Radoub- (Bordeaux)". Lower right dated: "1853".

Date: 1853

Description: In the improvised dry dock on the coast of the sea near Bordeaux, a large sailing ship lies on its side and is keel-hauled. Instead of the punishment of "keelhauling" long used in seafaring, the intensive cleaning of the underwater hull is meant here. In the course of time, the hull of the wooden sailing ships became clogged with all kinds of shells that impaired the speed of the hull as it glided through the water. Here you can clearly see the group of men cleaning the hull.
