| Description |
English: HMS sloop 'Speedy' falling in with the wreck of 'Queen Charlotte' March 21 1800 at Leghorn Drawing; there are some ground for believing this is by Commander (later Vice-Admiral Sir) Jahleel Brenton (see Notebook field), who commanded 'Speedy' at the time. The style of the title given above suggests it may be written on the drawing (TBC): if so, it may be possible to check the MS against other examples of Brenton's. The 'Queen Charlotte', Howe's flagship at the Glorious First of June 1794, was accidentally burnt off Leghorn in 1800, with considerable loss of life. [PvdM 1/11] |
