Given the size and scale of this splendid composition, it seems highly likely that it was one of Schetky's three Royal Academy exhibits of 1848 (No. 341, 'Dutch men-o'war on the coast of Holland - olden time'). During his long career spanning over seventy years, Schetky exhibited three 'olden time' works depicting Dutch men-o'war, each of which represented the Dutch fleet in different form.
