HMS Captain

Colour lithograph by Griffin & Co, Portsmouth 1872

Comes with data sheet - somewhat foxed - Story of construction, sinking, officers lost.

500 crew - just 18 survived. Britain's greatest naval loss in peacetime.

Note: The story in that data sheet is faulty. Much more accurate report can be found at https://www.pdavis.nl/Times.php?id=1206

Each sheet 265x210mm.

Very uncommon print.

Note: Moderate foxing in the margins - would be covered by a mount. Few faint foxing marks in the litho pic itself.
