Description: | A half-length portrait to the right showing Tucker in a black coat and white stock.
Joseph Tucker was appointed master shipwright at Plymouth Dockyard in 1802. He held the post until he was made joint Surveyor of the Navy, with Robert Seppings, on 14 June 1813. He retired in 1831. He is best remembered for designing, in 1809, a 170-gun ship with five tiers of guns: it was intended to be called 'Duke of Kent' but never built.
This portrait was presented to Greenwich Hospital by his widow (GH no.252), but further details have yet to be established. [PvdM 7/11]
