The 'Royal Sovereign' Long Caption: A royal yacht is shown in starboard-broadside view, hove-to off a harbour believed to be Weymouth, with King George III and members of his family on board. It is flying the Royal Standard and the Union flag together with the fouled anchor, thus signifying the presence of the sovereign on board. It is not clear which royal visit the painting marks but Weymouth was a favourite watering place for George III.
