- The Fight between a Merchantman and a Turkish Pirate
Drawn by C. M. Padday "His sails, masts, and shrouds were all in a blaze. Then we cut loose, and his mast went by the board." - 'The Glorious 1st of June', 1794
On this date Lord Howe achieved a victory over the French which was considered so important that on the return of the fleet to Spithead the King presented Howe with a gold chain and a sword valued at 3000 guineas. - The 'Royal George' Engaging the 'Soleil Royal' in Quiberon Bay, 1759
Admiral Hawke in this engagement gained a decisive victory. The Royal George was the first of an improved type of ship. Her end was a tragic one, for she capsized and sank at Spithead, taking 900 people with her. - Lord Howard Attacking a Ship of the Spanish Armada
In this fruitless attempt to invade our shores ten thousand Spaniards gave up their lives. England lost but one ship and about a hundred men. - Destroying a Straggler from the Armada
The first Spanish ships to meet their fate were the stragglers from the main body of the Armada. Above is shown one such vessel being engaged by an English captain. The great Spanish galleon is quite at the mercy of the smaller but handier vessel, which has got the wind of her enemy, and is pouring a destructive fire into her prow. - A Sea-fight in Tudor Times
Which particular battle this picture is supposed to represent cannot be stated, since old Holinshed uses it over and over again for almost every naval engagement to which he makes reference right back as far as the Conquest. That cannon were not then in existence does not appear to trouble him at all. But we may take it as fairly representative of an action at sea in the times in which the historian lived and wrote. - The 'Great Harry', the First Big Battleship of the British Navy
- A War-galley in the Days of King Alfred
The Dragon or other figure-head has been unshipped, possibly because the galley is going into port. - Uniforms of the Royal Marines - Gunner, R.M.A.,Colour-Sergeant, R.M.L.I., Major, R.M.A
