A large and important Trafalgar painting.  Many have painted Trafalgar using Nelson's Victory as their subject; Richard Grenville has produced a rare painting showing Collingwood's 100-gun Royal Sovereign leading the Lee column.  She was in fact the first British ship to be engaged at Trafalgar.

"Second to None"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

 **The original cover art for the Alexander Kent novel**

"On the eve of Waterloo, a sense of finality and cautious hope pervade a nation wearied by decades of war. But peace will present its own challenges to Adam Bolitho, captain of His Majesty's Ship Unrivalled, as many of his contemporaries face the prospect of discharge.
    The life of a frigate captain is always lonely, but for Adam, mourning the death of his uncle Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho, that solitude acquires a deeper poignancy. He is, more than ever, alone, at the dawning of a new age for the Royal Navy, where the only constants are the sea and those enemies, often masked in the guise of friendship, who conspire to destroy him."

"The Flag Captain"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the 10th Alexander Kent Bolitho novel**

Spring of 1797 ... Richard Bolitho brings the 100-gun Euryalus home to Falmouth to be flagship of the hastily formed squadron which has been chosen to make the first British re-entry to the Mediterranean for nearly a year. As flag captain, Bolitho is made to contend with the unyielding attitudes of his new admiral, as well as the devious requirements of the squadron's civilian advisor.
    England is still stunned by the naval mutiny at Spithead, in which Bolitho's admiral was personally involved, and as the squadron sets sail the air is already alive with rumour of an even greater uprising in the ships at the Nore. Only when the squadron is drawn to a bloody embrace with the enemy does the admiral see the strength in Bolitho's trust and care for his men – but by then it is almost too late for any of them.

"A Dutch yacht and other shipping at sea in a stiff breeze"

-- 

LOUIS DODD (British, 1943-2006)

 

This is a superb example of Louis Dodd's peerless painting technique, an oil on panel that celebrates and rivals the great Dutch seventeenth century marine artists revered by Dodd.

A beautiful yacht runs before the rising wind towards a fleet of Dutch warships and attendant craft.  The yacht's stern is highly ornate, rendered in the extraordinary detail of which only Dodd of twentieth century marine artists was capable, and signifies the status of her owner, presumably an admiral, rich captain or visiting grandee. 

The detail extends to all parts of the painting and is made possible by Dodd's technique of painting on smooth grounds of chalk covered with gesso laid onto beautiful mahogany or hardwood panels.  Dodd built up glazes of thin oil paint, one on top of the other, to achieve his luminous cloud and light effects, in the case of this painting producing the infinitely subtle greys, blues and pale greens of Dutch waters and skies. 

Marine Artists.co.uk always takes the greatest care that our photographs properly represent the prints and paintings on our website but this Louis Dodd is especially subtle and hard to capture in a photograph. On our screens the image appears perhaps a little too blue and the colours of the flags a fraction strong but we emphasise that images vary from screen to screen.

The painting may be viewed by appointment at our Chelsea (London) houseboat.

"To Risks Unknown"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Adriatic, 1943 ... The Navy's Special Operations Forces had received the word from the high command: from now on, there would be no retreat.  For the men of the HMS Thistle it meant a new kind of war - a war of stealth and cunning far beyond enemy lines. The Thistle was a battlewise corvette, drafted for secret strikes in the Nazi-bound Adriatic.  No matter that half her crew were green boys and the other half hardtack misfits. In war, no one cared about the past - only the future - what men could wrest from their guns and the sea."

"Victory's Finest Moment"

-- RICHARD GRENVILLE (British, born 1956)

 

An exceptional oil painting by the award-winning painter Richard Grenville showing H.M.S Victory breaking the line of the French and Spanish combined fleet at Trafalgar, 21st October 1805.

Victory is seen discharging her port broadside into the stern of Bucentaure, the flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Villeneuve, creating such devastation as to put Bucentaure virtually out of action.

At the left of the picture is the French ship Redoubtable, commanded by Captain Lucas, from whose fighting-tops was fired the shot that gave Nelson his mortal wound.

"The Volunteers"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Sicily, 1943 ... They were the men and women of the Royal Navy's Special Operations units. Carrying out lightning raids on hostile coasts, they became a navy within a navy - each hand-picked for their individual skills, and all of them courageous. Against the mighty backdrop of World War II they performed their small but deadly operations - living often beyond hope, sometimes beyond mercy. This is the dramatic story of a handful of such people ..."

"Constitution racing Reliance off Sandy Hook, 1903"

-- THOMAS OLIVER (British, born 1979)

 

Built by Nat Heresoff in 1901 as the new America's Cup defender, Constitution had to win the right to defend by beating the current champion Columbia...and in 1901 both Columbia and her crew were in perfect racing trim. Despite this, Heresoff believed that Constitution would prove the better and faster yacht but her crew were outsmarted and out-sailed by Columbia who had the legendary Charlie Barr at the helm.

 

Constitution came back in 1903 to defeat Columbia in that year's America's Cup time trials but in her turn Constitution was defeated by the more modern Reliance, who also had Charlie Barr at the helm.

"Torpedo Run"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Black Sea, 1943 ... The Russians were fighting a desperate battle to regain control.  But their one real weakness was on the water: whatever they did, the Germans did it better, and the daring hit-and-run tactics of the E-boats plagued them. At last the British agreed to send them a small flotilla of motor torpedo boats under the command of John Devane.  Devane had been in the Navy since the outbreak of war. More than a veteran, he was a survivor - and the two rarely went together in the savage war of MTBs. Given command at short notice, Devane soon learned that, even against the vast and raging background of the Eastern Front, war could still be a personal duel between individuals."

"In Danger's Hour"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

Mediterranean, 1943 ... The Rob Roy.  A tiny machine, just 230 feet from stem to stern. In peacetime she would have trawled for cod. Now her catch is deadlier by far. Lieutenant-Commander Ian Ransome is a veteran of the treacherous front line of naval combat. For three years, he's swept the explosive curtains of Nazi mines that shrouds the British Isles.  Now, under sealed orders in the battle-tossed waters of the Mediterranean, he and his jack-tired crew face one final test of their courage and seamanship under fire. Their secret mission: to spearhead the Allies' desperate invasion of Italy.

"The Foudroyant under tow off a coast"

-- 

S. FRANCIS SMITHEMAN

(British, Contemporary)

 

A wonderfully atmospheric painting by S. Francis Smitheman of Nelson's great Foudroyant in the evening of her days.

H.M.S. Foudroyant was Nelson's flagship in 1799-1800. She was bought by the philanthropist Geoffrey Cobb in 1892; he restored her and planned to run her as a working ship touring coastal resorts and training boys. Before this plan could come to fruition she was wrecked in a gale off Blackpool in 1897.

Cobb later bought and restored another ship for the same purposes, H.M.S. Trincomalee now at West Hartlepool.

"Winged Escort"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Summer, 1943 ... As the grim years of the Second World War go by, the destruction of Allied shipping mounts. Out of the terrible loss of men and ships, the escort carrier is born.  At twenty-six, fighter pilot Tim Rowan, RNVR, is already a veteran of many campaigns. Now he joins the escort carrier, Growler, a posting which takes him first to the bitter waters of the Arctic and all the misery of convoy duty to Murmansk, and then south to the Indian Ocean and the strange new terror of the Japanese Kamikaze."

"H.M.S. Saracen"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

Malta, 1941 ... To most people HMS Saracen is just an ugly, obsolete ship with an equally ugly recent history: her last commander is due for court martial after shelling the troops he was sent to protect. But to Captain Richard Chesnaye she brings back memories – memories of the First World War when he and the old monitor went through the Gallipoli campaign together. It seems that captain and ship are both past their best. But as the war enters a new phase Chesnaye senses the possibility of a fresh, significant role - for him and the Saracen.

"Rendezvous - South Atlantic"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Atlantic, 1941 ... She was a battered merchant cruiser, decked out in a new coat of paint and a few ancient guns. Her patrol: Iceland. Her crew: a roster of has-beens, with an admiral of faded glory. But in the killing ground of the Atlantic, Nazi U-boats ran swift and deadly. The Benbecula's men knew this war of nerves and tossing ice caps was a game you couldn't afford to lose. And for one more brave, impossible hour they had to play the odds of battle and the sea."

"The Last Raider"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

**The original cover art for the Douglas Reeman novel**

"Kiel, December 1917 ... The Vulkan sailed from Kiel.  She was a German commerce raider. The last raider.  First of all she had to break through the British blockade. Then, striking west and south to the open seas, to sink and destroy every ship, every cargo before it could be delivered to the enemies of the Fatherland. At this stage of the war, Germany needed a gesture and the Vulkan was to be that gesture. There had been other raiders, but unlike those earlier predecessors, she would be alone with every man's hand against her. And to Korvetten Kapitän Felix von Steiger fell the duty of making this voyage possible."
