Castletown Isle of Man from Langness Rocks
Date made: 29 June 1835
Artist: Goodman, Mary Anne
Description: "The town [Castletown] is divided by a small creek, which opens into a rocky and dangerous bay. The difficulty of entering its harbour certainly in some degree injures its commerce." (David Robertson, A Tour Through The Isle of Man, 1794, M 01360)
