Description: Randy has done it, as he allowed an oversized reproduction. Very bad, but awesomely good.Size is 10.5 inches by 15.5 inches for a 16 X 20 inch frame..Thanks to Nicky Pocock The SHIPS of NELSON Line of Battle HMS Victory logo watermarks are not really there. You just think they are. After so many years scrounging the world for this so very treasured rendering, Line of Battle, once again, is more elated to bring this to those will most likely never see this anywhere else. From the hallowed painting by Nicholas Pocock, to the engraver J. Fittler, one can see that the original engraving does exist. From left to right I shall identify within the text beneath. It's all there, even his coat of arms. I included a pic of the original Pocock painting as you may want to download it and try giving your prize the color of the painting. Pocock's treasured work has been returned to the original engraving of his work. Only one of the finest artists in the land and expert at this medium could have done it. Judge for yourself if this isn't one of the true masterpieces of today. It can be done. First, and to the far left, is His Majesty's Ship Agamemnon. Nelson in command of the 64 gun Agamemnon, played a gallant role in a battle against 15 French men-of-war in 1795. He fought and captured the 80 gun Calra off Toulon. From this action Nelson was named a Commodore and placed in Command of the 74 gun, 3rd rate, HMS Captain. It was while in command of Captain, Nelson scored one of the greatest coups in the history of naval combat. Not only was Nelson largely responsible for the victory at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. He blantly disobeyed Admiraly Ordes. Nelson was third from the rear of the English Line of Battle and immediately recognized that the Spanish had managed to maneuver their fleet readying to smash the dispositioned Jervis fleet. Nelson removed HMS Captain from the line (a court marshal offense) and threw himself across the bows of the 18 onrushing Spaniards. Grasping the brilliant move of Nelson, Jervis ordered the remaining two ships to follow suit. HMS Captain was heavily engaged with the monstrous 130 gun Santisma Trinidad and six other Spanish vessels. Nelson plowed his wreck of a ship into the enemy throng and sent marines piling over onto the Spanish 80 gunner San Nicolas. Nelson found a way to board the vessel from his quartergalleries to the Spaniard, and fighting his way to the deck surprised the Spanish officers who surrendered. At that very moment a barrage of fire rang out from the stern of a second Spanish ship, the 112 gun San Josef, which in the confusion had become locked with the San Nicolas. Nelson immediately ordered the marines once agian into combat, closely led by Nelson. The Spanish captain had lost his will and immediately surrendered. Nelson with his 3rd rate HMS Captain had captured a Spanish 3rd rater and, incredibly, a 1st rater. For this action Nelson was made Admiral and Knight of the Bath. Nelson's next command was HMS Vanguard. Taking command of the Vanguard, withstanding some terrible storms, and then thrashing about the Mediterranean looking for Napoleon's fleet, he found them at Aboukir Bay at Alexandria, and the Battle of the Nile was on. With brilliant strategies by Nelson and independently so of Thomas Foley of HMS Goliath, the fleet was sent into what was to be the shallows and the wrong side of the French Fleet. Nelson ran up his signal, red pennent over blue flag, Engage the enemy more closely". The French were so caught off guard and now out matched, The Battle of the Nile was a turkey shoot. In 1801 during a dreadful storm in the North Sea, Nelson was forced to tranfer his flag from the St. George to the HMS Elephant. Enter the Battle of Copenhagen. It might be noted that one of Nelson's most trusted frigate captains was one Captain William Bligh. Without going into further historical content, obviouly the Battle of Copenhagen was another huge victory for Britain and the Nelson legend continued to grow beyond any who had gone before. These continuous actions left a slightly built, but aggressive, Horatio Nelson with a wracked body, but not so much that he had one more grat kick left in him .... his HMS Victory and the Battle of Trafalgar.
