Galley on the Janus

Description

In his written account, Prince Maximilian noted that the Janus, a brig of r 70 tons, was not as well furnished as he would have liked: its small berths slept only six passengers. Bodmer's rendering of the ship's galley, made on July 3 off the coast of Massachusetts, furnishes additional evidence of the cramped quarters
