| Description |
English: 'H.M.S. Sceptre, Harwich force, 1916-1919' Signed by the artist, lower right and inscribed on the mount, as title. The ship, seen in starboard broadside view, was one of 51 R-class destroyers, a type which served in the First World War mainly in 1916 and 1917. She built by Alexander Stephen and Sons, at Linthouse (Glasgow), was launched on 13 April 1917 and during her trials averaged nearly 36 knots in force 6 winds. 'Sceptre' saw action as part of Admiral David Beatty's force, primarily employed in convoy escort and patrol duty in the North Sea and Atlantic, the title here suggesting she was part of Tyrwhitt's Harwich Force: her pendant number (as shown here) was F60 only from January 1918 to October 1919. On 17 July 1917, she shot down a Zeppelin and later that year sank an armed German trawler. She was sold for breaking up in 1926. This is a reasonable rendering of her but detail is hard to distinguish. |
