<p>This was possibly drawn on the south coast of England. Turner remained fascinated by this coastline for the rest of his life, especially during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793–1815), when it was a vital national frontier. Here, fishermen use a windlass to haul their boat ashore. Fisherwomen collect their nets.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2022</em></p>
