Summary

HMS 'Victory' in Portsmouth Harbour, 1824
No. 19 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961)
Drawing inscribed along the upper edge of sheet 'Victory – Portsmouth Harbour – Victory August/26th/ 1824', and in the lower right 'The ship canted while this was being made – and is therefore/much too long -.'
Schetky made a number of drawings of 'Victory' as she lay in Portsmouth harbour. In December 1823 Turner wrote to Schetky requesting help with his large painting of the battle of Trafalgar which George IV had commissioned in 1822: ‘If you will make me a sketch of the 'Victory' (she is in Hayle Lake or Portsmouth harbour) three-quarter bow on starboard side, or opposite the bow port, you will much oblige’.
