Description

Coconut palms with a European man standing among them beside a curved beach, with houses and fringed with palms. A European sailing ship, possibly H. M. S. Fly in 1851 is moored in the stream

'Yur-on-R-B' is likely to be the artist's rendering of the the local name for the port area shown. No equivalent name is shown on modern maps of Aneitym (Vanuatu). 'Yur-on-r-b' may have been the local name for what is now known as Port Patrick

Other Titles - Aneityum, Vanuatu
