"The Perilous Situation of the Crew of His Majesty's Packet Lady Hobart...on the Morning of the 28th June, 1803" is a historical engraving created by the British artist Robert Pollard (1755–1838) in 1804, based on a painting by the maritime painter Nicholas Pocock. The work depicts a dramatic sea rescue following the shipwreck of the packet ship Lady Hobart. On June 28, 1803, the Lady Hobart, a British packet ship carrying mail and passengers, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank. The crew and passengers faced a dire situation as they clung to the remains of the vessel and lifeboats, hoping for rescue in the treacherous waters.

Nicholas Pocock, known for his detailed and accurate maritime scenes, originally captured this harrowing event in his painting, which was then translated into an engraving by Pollard. Pollard, an accomplished engraver and painter in his own right, was known for his works that often depicted naval battles and significant events at sea. His engravings were widely distributed and helped to bring the drama and heroism of maritime life to a broader audience.

The engraving serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the dangers of sea travel during the early 19th century. It showcases the bravery of the crew and passengers as well as the perils faced by those who traversed the world's oceans during this period. The piece is an example of the collaboration between artists to immortalize a moment of survival against the odds and stands as a testament to the human spirit in the face of disaster.

Today, "The Perilous Situation of the Crew of His Majesty's Packet Lady Hobart" is recognized for its artistic merit and historical significance. It remains an important work for those studying the Age of Sail, maritime history, and the development of engraving as a form of mass communication. The engraving is also of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of naval art and history.
