about

Cover artwork: 'English ships in a rough sea' by Claes Wou (1606-10), from the original painting, courtesy of The National Maritime Museum, showing a fleet of merchant vessels going through a storm. The principal ship in the foreground is English, flying the St George flag from the mainmast. What may be intended as the striped ensign of the East India Company is flying from the stern, also on which is the painted or carved figure of Fortune, in the form of a nude female figure.
