Scene of British ships bombarding a Dutch port town on the Carribean island of Curacao. The British often referred to this island as "Curacoa", which is also the name of an uninhabited island in Australia. The British warships are identified by their British naval jacks; at far right, a Dutch flag is seen flying over some of the shore buildings. The hills of the island are visible in the background.
