HMS Discovery, named after Captain Cook's ship, was the lead vessel of George Vancouver's expedition. Discovery is depicted under sail as the expedition approaches the Hawaiian Islands on 10 March 1793.
The journal of the voyage records: ‘I availed myself of the prevailing favourable breeze, and bore away along the coast about two miles from the shore... its surface was very uneven but had yet a verdant and fertile appearance’.
This painting is signed in the lower right corner and dated in the lower left.
