Description |
View of the Hon,,ble Companys Ship WARREN HASTINGS, a few Minutes before her Action with LA PIE'MONT'AISE (French Frigate) on the 21,st June 1806. [bottom left, below edge of view:] Warren Hastings. 40 Guns [blank space] Men [bottom right, below edge of view:] La Piémontaise 40 Guns, 385 Men. A view of the East India Company's ship Warren Hastings just before being brought into action with the French frigate Piedmontaise on 21 June 1806 near the Cape of Good Hope. Napoleonic Wars (1803-15). One of a pair of views representing the East Indiaman Warren Hastings before her encounter with the French frigate Piemontaise and the point after the battle when the Captain of the Warren Hastings was surrendering to the French. The second view (RCIN 735130) depicts the destruction suffered by the Warren Hastings at the hands of the French. At the time of surrender, her gun room was on fire and the fore and main masts were wrecked, and the mizzenmast had fallen forwards blocking every gun on the upper deck. At the time of the engagement, the Warren Hastings, nominally a 40-gun ship, had only 36 guns in service and a crew of 138 men and boys. |
