  <dc:title>The Continental Dock-yard</dc:title>
  <dc:description>On the right is 'THE GALLIC STOREHOUSE FOR ENGLISH SHIPPING', in which have been impounded the ships 'THE DANE', 'THE SWEDE', and 'THE DON DIEGO'. In front of them, French ship-builders, wearing bonnets rouges, are working on a number of ships including 'THE NAPOLEON'.  At the front, Napoleon, brandishing a sword, instructs the foreman: "Begar you must vork like de Diable ve must annihilate dis John Bull."  The foreman replies: "Please you my grand Empereur, tes no use vatever, as fast as ve do build him he vas clap dem in his storehouse over the way."
On the left, the other side of a stretch of water, is 'JOHN BULL'S STOREHOUSE', which contains the ships 'ARMADA', PORTO BELLO', 'CAMPERDOWN', 'ST VINCENT', 'NILE' AND 'TRAFALGAR'.  In front of the storehouse John Bull stands talking with a group of sailors.  He says, in reference to Napoleon: "I say lads, if he goes on this way, we shall be overstocked."  A sailor replies: "What a deal of pains some people take for nothing."
