| Description |
English: Captain John Cooke, 1763-1805 A half-length portrait of Captain John Cooke wearing a captain's full-dress uniform, (over three years), 1795-1812. The artist has incorporated the sea into background of the portrait, to emphasize Cooke's naval achievements. He was captain of the 'Nymphe' when, together with the 'San Fiorenzo', they captured the French frigates, 'Résistance' and 'Constance' off Brest in March 1797. He was killed at Trafalgar when commanding the 'Bellerophon', being one of two captains to die there: the other was George Duff of the 'Mars'. See also MED0156 for Captain Cooke's Trafalgar Medal, WPN1001 for his sword, AAA2464 for one of his pistols and WPN1059 for his dirk. |
