| Description |
English: The battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 In the centre and right of centre of the painting is the British ship ‘Colossus’. Her guns are shown firing into the French ‘Argonaute’ which is in the foreground to the right. Beyond and to the left of the ‘Colossus’ and partially masked by her is the stern of the Spanish ‘Bahama’ whose colours are being struck. A union flag has been placed over her side just aft of her mizzen shrouds. Astern of her, and nearly bow on, is the ‘Swiftsure’ an ex-British ship which had been captured by the French in 1801 and is now about to be recaptured. Across the foreground floats the wreckage of spars and sails. The painting was later turned into a lithograph by J. Needham. It is signed with a detailed inscription on the back. |
