Jenkinss Naval Achievements in 1816, this color engraving by Thomas Whitcombe brings to life a significant event in naval history. The image showcases a dramatic scene at sea, with billowing smoke filling the air as French ships are seized by an attacking fleet. The flags fluttering atop the vessels tell tales of bravery and determination from both sides involved in this fierce battle.
