The Defence in trouble at the Glorious First of June, raked from astern. I think paintings like this by Nicholas Pocock are worth studying - a former ship's master, he knew the sea, painted at the time, from eye-witness testimony. The CNN of his day?

"Bombardment of Algiers, 1816" by G Chambers

This action was Sir Edward Pellew's last battle. The British had band the Atlantic Slave Trade, but the Dey of Algiers was still trading in Christian slaves. An Anglo/Dutch fleet made him think differently.

Coronet around Cape Horn, 1888 - painting by American R Kramer

One of the great land falls, rarely seen, and said to look like a Sphinx. I find it extraordinary that a continent as vast as S. America should taper down to a single point.

Storm by 19th century Russian artist I AIVAZOVSKY

Great marine art really helps me as a writer - I am working on a scene this morning with a rescue just like this. He gets both the brute power of the storm and the light on the water so right

In 1798 the 32-gun British frigate Ambuscade was battling with the French 24-gun corvette Bayonnaise. Given the difference in size, another victory for the #RoyalNavy was surely on the cards?
But no - the Bayonnaise surprised and boarded her larger opponent.
