Colin Sorenson suggests, in the Bristol City Art Gallery Brooking exhibition catalogue (1966), that this painting, and 'Royal Yachts in a Storm' (BHC1024), are possible studies for Brooking's Foundling Hospital painting – and that its title is therefore 'A Flagship before the Wind under Easy Sail, with a Cutter, a Ketch, and Other Shipping', and that its execution date is therefore c.1754.
