Captain George Pechell Mends |
Description |
English: (Recto) The 'Sans Pareil' in Besika Bay, 3 October 1853 and the French steamer 'Mogador' towing the French 'Valmy' into the Dardanelles, 29 October 1853; No. 35 of 36 (PAI0849 - PAI0884). (Recto) Two separate pencil sketches, divided by a vertical line. That on the left, of a British two-decker, is inscribed, 'Sans Pareil - Besika Bay / Oct 3d 53 Capt Dacres', with 'airy Blue' and 'Yellow' as colour notes in the sky to the left of the ship, which is shown almost in starboard broadside view, drying sails. That on the right is inscribed, 'Valmy & Modagor / Oct 29th 53 / Entering Dardanells' and shows two French ships heading into the Sea of Marmara through the Dardanelles strait, the twin-funnelled paddler 'Modagor' towing the three-decker 'Valmy', which only has a jib set.
This is the last page of Mends's 1850-53 sketchbook, covering his commission as first lieutenant of the 'Trafalgar'. In January 1854 he was promoted commander and went home to become second-in-command of HMS 'James Watt'. He therefore missed the 'Trafalgar's' part in the Crimean War campaign that followed in the Black Sea, though taking part in his new ship in the Baltic theatre of that conflict. |
