Description: In this image we see Gulliver pulling Blefuscudian ships back to the port in Blefuscu. Gulliver threw ropes and hooked the ships. Gulliver then used the ropes to pull the ships back to their home port, resulting in damage to the ships. In the image we see Gulliver stepping out of the water onto land with his left arm stretched above his head. In his right hand he holds fifteen ropes attached to ships – not all of which are visible. On the right hand side several Blefuscudians are visible, looking onto the scene. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
