Not on view

Commodore Curtis sits in an armchair at the head of a table in the cabin of his yacht. Around him, five naval officers in red coats are happily drinking and enjoying themselves. He holds a large two-handled gold cup inscribed "Speedy and Soon." The nine verse song below is a parody of "The Storm" by G.A. Stevens.
