Portsmouth's warships, Liverpool's docks and the beaches of Brighton and Hastings share the coastal circuit in these prints from Finden's Ports & harbours, published by George Virtue in London in 1842 with drawings by William Henry Bartlett and text by William Beattie. The work covered the ports, harbours, watering places and coastal scenery of Great Britain, so fishing beaches and naval stations sit beside resorts such as Budleigh Salterton and the waterfront at Blackwall. Welsh views include Conwy, Swansea Bay and Holyhead, Scottish ones Leith, Greenock and Aberdeen, and castles, abbeys and lighthouses mark the coast between them.
