Description: Sternhold and Hopkins at Sea or a Stave out of Time SUMMARY: Caricature featuring Admiral Lord James Gambier and Lord Thomas Cochrane during the Battle of Basque Roads in 1809. Gambier: "Moab my wash pot is, my shoe, o'er Edom I will throw." Sailor: "Your shoe won't do for the French Fleet. I think we had better throw some shells Your Honor." Cochrane: "Why Admiral, Damn their Eyes they'l escape if we don't make haste." Chaplain: "Oh the wicked Dog he has put us quite out, he is insensible of the beauties of Divine Poetry." Discarded on the cabin floor lies Gambier's telescope, log book and a batch of Congreve rockets. On his desk is a large edition of a Sternhold and Hopkins psalm book, and on the bulkhead a map of the Holy Land.
