“Hard a-port now!” cried Pearce, and the vessels came in collision, the spare anchor in the Aspasia’s fore-chains catching and tearing away the backstays and lanyards of the enemy’s fore-rigging, and, with a violent jerk, bringing down the fore-topmast to windward. At this moment the reserved broadside of the Aspasia was discharged, and the two frigates heeled over opposite ways, from the violent concussion of the air in the confined space between them.

The real reference of the ship tattoo

Just saw this post about Harry's ship tattoo which reminded me I had found the actual painting this tattoo is based on a while back. So I guess this is a debunk of that theory. It's not a french "Louis" ship but an English ship called the "Victory". It doesn't debunk the ship-and-compass connection tho, waves can try but they won't break that one.

The ship is from a painting by Nicholas Pocock called Nelson's Flagships at Anchor.

A description of the ship: Dominating the right foreground is the 'Victory', 100 guns, shown in her original state, with open stern galleries, and not as she was at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She is shown at anchor flying the flag of Vice-Admiral of the White, Nelson's Trafalgar rank, and firing a salute to starboard as an admiral's barge is rowed alongside, amidst other small craft. (x)

Logbook Entries from the Voyage of the Minerva, Captain Nicholas Pocock, c. 1776

Pen and ink on paper, detailing observations on May 2nd-7th and 14th-25th, May 1776, aboard the Minerva "From Bristol towards Nevis," each day with typical records of distance, latitude, longitude, and weather, and also with detailed watercolor en grisaille depictions of the Minerva at sail.

I was working on my art calendar and was relying on Wikipedia and I found this guy named Nicholas Pocock so of course I went crazy

Foreshadowing the boy-heroes of Henty and Kipling, Marryat’s midshipmen escape from home and school into realms of adventure which promise freedom but instead place them on a lowly rung of a complex pecking order of sailors, officers, and gentlemen—at the pinnacle of which stand family, country, and God. In The Settlers in Canada, Alfred Campbell says that “a midshipman’s ideas of independence are very great,” but the navy is the wrong place to realize those ideas: “I had rather range the wilds of America free and independent,” he tells his family, “than remain in the service, and have to touch my hat to every junior lieutenant.” Alfred’s discontent is, however, not quite typical, and he is happy enough when later promoted. Though there is usually a moment when Marryat’s heroes regret what they have left behind, it passes quickly.
