His Majesty's Sloop of War Wolverine of 12 guns & 63 Men, Attacking and defeating two French Luggers, one of 14 the other of 16 Guns amd 140 Men each, off the Coast of Bolougne, on the 3.d January 1799. Her Commander Lewis Morlock after killing several of the enemy with his own hands, received a mortal Wound from the last shot fired, in consequence of which he died the week after.

Published Sept.r 12. 1799 by W. Anderson, No 46 Bell Street Paddington.
Very rare aquatint. Sheet 330 x 420mm (13 x 16½"). Trimmed within plate. Two repaired tears.
HMS Wolverine was a collier that was converted into a warship, with an experimental system in which her guns could be pivoted to be fired from either side. In this action she engaged the French luggers Furet and Rusé, the crews of which attempted to board Wolverine, as depicted here, but were beaten back. The French then threw incendiary devices though Wolverine's stern cabin windows and escaped while the British were extinguishing the fire. Commander Morlock was mortally wounded, but lasted until the ship returned to Portsmouth; every captain in the port attended his funeral two days later.
