A rough plan of the Delaware river below the mouth of the Schuylkill which is shown as a quasi-rectangular piece of water. In its centre is a pentagonal fort-shaped island, inscribed "Mud Islnd". Across this straddles a woman astride a cannon which she is firing at the British ship "Isis", while her left hand fires a miniature cannon. Her hair is dressed over a broad cushion, cf. BMSat 5370, &amp;c.; on it are two cannon and two flags, one the striped American flag with a serpent, see BMSat 5336, &amp;c, the other the Union flag. On each side of the "Isis" are the "Roebuck" (left) and the "Somerset" (right), the latter in flames. In front of the "Isis" the topsails of the "Eagle" appear. Above Mud Island is the "Vigilant", firing a broadside. "Chevaux de Frize" are marked in the river, above and below Mud Island.  c.December 1777
