View of the drawbridge at the Malacca River

This drawing shows the drawbridge at the Malacca River, where much loading and unloading of trading goods would take place. It was taken from a sketchbook of the voyage of the Elphinstone, a British East India Company ship launched in 1824. The ship, an 18-gun sloop, was captained by Henry H Sumner and operated out of London.
