Engraving. Plate 350 x 460mm. 13¾ x 18". Some toning in the margins. Small repaired hole in sail of second ship in from the left.
On 16 March 1782 Captain James Luttrell was appointed to the Mediator of 44 guns. In December, he sailed from El Ferrol to intercept an American frigate L’Alexandre who sailed from the mouth of the Gironde with other vessels in an “armed convoy” on 9 December 1782. The cargo of arms for the American War was stopped as the Mediator presented a formidable appearance; Luttrell bore down on them, and after a few broadsides cut off one of the largest ship, the Alexandre, and compelled her to strike. Mediator fought her way through the Franco-American line and isolated the Alexandre. As the Alexandre was taken the rest of the Franco-American fleet scattered and fled. It was not till five hours later that the Mediator came up with another of the vessels, the Ménagère, which she captured also. A desperate but unsuccessful attempt was made by the prisoners to set fire to the Mediator. The prizes were brought safely to England.

The capture of a French merchant frigate. Admiral Sir George Montagu (1750–1829) was appointed to the 32-gun frigate HMS Pearl, which when cruising near the Azores on 14 September 1779, captured the Spanish frigate Santa Monica of equal force. In December Pearl sailed with the fleet under Sir George Rodney, and assisted in the capture of the Caracas convoy; but having sprung her foremast, was ordered home with the prizes. She was afterwards sent out to North America, and on 30 September 1780, while on a cruise off the Bermudas, captured the Espérance, a frigate-built privateer of 32 guns. In the battle of Cape Henry, on 16 March 1781, she acted as repeating frigate. She was not with the fleet during the battle of the Chesapeake on 5 September, but joined it, still off Cape Henry, on the 14th, and was left to keep watch on the movements of the French till the 25th, when she sailed for New York. On 19 October she sailed again with the fleet, and on the 23rd was stationed ahead as a look-out (Pearl's Log). She returned to England in 1782.
