Born in England but raised largely in France, William Wyld was greatly influenced by the work of Richard Parkes Bonington and Horace Vernet, the latter becoming a friend and travelling companion. Following his debut at the Paris Salon in 1831, Wyld journeyed to Algiers in 1833, a trip that resulted in an illustrated publication Voyage pittoresque dans le régence d’Alger pendant l’année 1833
Careening is the practice of grounding a sailing vessel at high tide, in order to expose one side of its hull for maintenance and repairs below the water line when the tide goes out.
