| Title | Sailors Eating Pork |
| Date | [1 Jan 1807] |
| Description | Two sailors sit eating pork. One comments:
"Why Jack - may I never cast anchor again - if there ant bristles in this pork as thick as cables."
The landlady, standing behind the table looks concerned, and says:
"Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powder'd it with my own hands."
The second sailor replies:
"Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress - while your hand was in, I wish you had shaved it also".
