Description: | Print No. 132. This ship was the last wooden British man-of-war, and was launched in 1841 by Lady Bridport, Nelson's niece, who used wine for the purpose taken from the Victory after the great sea fight in honour of which the ship was named.
Painting of the sea showing two large boats in the foreground, and smaller boats filled with people. They are waving and are obviously cheering as the larger boat departs. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Warships Fine arts Works on paper London industry, machines & technology Sea navigation Sailing vessels Prints Victorian period | Temporal: | 1842
