On the Dogger Bank is an 1846 oil painting by the British artist Clarkson Stanfield. It shows a fishing craft known as a Dogger at sail on the Dogger Bank in the North Sea during a storm.[1] [2] Showing the hazards of fishing in the rough seas, the sprit has broken off the mast and one of the crew is trying to retrieve it. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1846 at the National Gallery in London under the title A Dutch Dogger Carrying Away her Sprit. Today it is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, having been acquired in 1882.[3]
