The Fighting Temeraire, tugged to her last berth to be broken up

by Joseph Mallord William Turner

"And she's fading down the river, But in England's song for ever, She's the Fighting Téméraire." -Sir Henry Newbolt ballad titled The Fighting Temeraire

Turner displayed the painting in 1839 accompanied by an altered excerpt from Thomas Campbell's poem Ye Mariners of England, reading:

The flag which braved the battle and the breeze,

No longer owns her.

#OTD in 1938 – Death of Tom Crean, Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer, from Co Kerry.

The reasons why history has been unkind to Crean are twofold: first, the politics of post-independence Ireland; and second, what George Bernard Shaw described as the greatest of evils and worst of crimes — poverty.

HMS Warrior (1860) by Roy Llowarch Via Flickr: A trip over to Portsmouth Saturday 14th of August 2021. Seen here is HMS Warrior. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first ocean-going armour plated iron hulled warships in the world. They were built in response to France launching the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. These photos were taken with my Canon Camera on a beautiful day in Pompey

HMS Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, led by Sir George Nares. The walrus is fine! It is not deceased! As the caption at the Royal Collection Trust explains, this photograph shows "a man poking a prostrate walrus with a pole."
