Before Trafalgar

As you noticed I have been experimenting with a new drawing style. I found inspiration in 1700s and 1800s coloured drawings and I used your requests as an inspiration. Thank you!

Here we have the results - Horatio Nelson in his HMS Victory cabin. I have visited HMS Victory last Friday and I loved it. Then I saw my partner standing there, listening to their audio guide… so I grabbed the pose and used it as a reference.

Nelson’s features are based on his life mask so I’m very satisfied with the accuracy of the picture!

It's my birthday today!

I bought myself a sextant lmao

It goes well on my Napoleonic Wars shelf, and is a good pair with my bosun's whistle

(and yes, those are HMS Victory bookends that my brother got for my birthday a few years back)

(via https://woodcentral.com.au/napoleon-to-get-last-laugh-hms-victory-rebuilt-with-french-oak/)

“In the current age, France is a neighbour that we have a reasonably good relationship with, and they certainly have superiorly managed forests to the UK,” according to Mr Williams, who added that next week marks the 219th anniversary of arguably Great Britain’s most famous Victory.

According to Dan Snow, a maritime historian, the decision to use French oaks was “not completely shocking” as The Royal Navy had historically “nicked its trees from overseas.”

Visited the National Museum of the Royal Navy (Portsmouth) back in February, and then completely forgot to post anything.

Last time I went there was about 20 years ago and Mary Rose was not yet fully preserved- but these days she looks incredible, and was perhaps my favourite part of the trip. I would highly recommend a visit, even if it is just to see Mary Rose.
