The manuscript is unattributed, but very much
in the style of Captain Eatwell (see Chart A718), who served on HC Cruiser
Banares under the order of Captain William Hill, HMS Towey.
There are two annotations on this chart: one in the top right corner, which reads, ‘H M Ship Towey Cat Hill 1818; and the other on the reverse of the original, which reads that this chart was ‘received from Captain W[ilia]m Hill, HMS Towey, 6th April 1819’.
