HMS Brunswick and Le Vengeur du Peuple.  Oil on canvas 27 x 19 inches.
 On 1 June 1794 the Brunswick engaged Le Vengeur in the Battle of the Glorious 1st June.  Both ship's were dismasted and Capt' Harvey was killed.  When the hat was shot off the figurehead depicting the Duke of Brunswick the sailors nailed the Captain's hat to it, so his Grace would not go into action bareheaded. I have chosen the opening of the engagement when the Brunswick is manoeuvring to cut the French line.
