Oner his more active prints wth a brigg about to enter the harbour in which a number io boats are tied up. In 1748 Lewis Morris a custom officer produced a map of the North Wales coast for the Admiralty. He described the haven at Amlwch :- I do not think it worthwhile to publish a plan of this place as it is now, because it is no more than a cove between two steep rocks where a vessel hath not room to wind, even at high water. But a large vessel might be saved here in case of necessity, provided the mouth of the harbour can be discovered which is now difficult for a stranger. To aid in navigation he proposed Two white houses, for landmarks, one each side of the harbour's mouth, would make the entrance conspicuous to any stranger, the east mouse , a small island near the place being a good direction until you come close to shore. The print is framed in a gilt and black with a mount. Size of frame 17 3/4 x 13.Some signs of ageing of the mount but the print appears fresh with just a touch of toning.
