Description: Gulliver explained to the Queen of Brobdingnag that he arrived on Brobdingnag by sailing. The Queen was not familiar with this mode of travel and built a trough in the court so that Gulliver could demonstrate sailing to the court. Gulliver was given the supplies to build himself a small boat. Here Gulliver demonstrates his sailing skills and the ladies of the court use their fans to make wind.
