This drawing probably dates from Turner's sketching tour of Kent 1793-4. On the tour, Turner also visited Rochester (Turner Bequest XV-B), and Canterbury (A. Wilton, The Life and Work of J.M.W. Turner, 1979, nos. 31-4). A watercolour of St Martin's Priory, Dover, A. Wilton, op.cit., no. 35 is in the Victoria & Albert Museum. A number of marine drawings executed on this tour are known; a watercolour of shipping vessels in the harbour at Dover, dated 1794, was sold at Christie's London, 14 July 1992, lot 24 (13,750).
