The British West Africa Squadron was established in 1808, its primary role being to suppress any activity by slavers. It was also assigned for other activities. The squadron was to be ready for combat at sea, to blockade ports between Cape Verde and Benguela if necessary, to seize foreign slavers, and to protect legitimate traders. The Journal du Havre publishes the following report on the capture of the Gabriel, communicated by Captain Blay, of the Jeune Pauline, just arrived at Havre from Rio Janeiro:- ' The following was published in Edinburgh Oct/Nov, 1841. The English brig Acorn having, in lat. 5.N perceived at great distance a vessel pillaging another, made chase, and instantly the Gabriel hoisted all her sail, and endeavoured to escape. At three in the afternoon the Acorn fired, and the Gabriel returned the fire, at the same time hoisting Portuguese colours. The chase continued for 12 hours, during the whole of which time firing was kept up by both vessels, but eventually the Gabriel was dismasted, and captured.She was sent to St Helena, but her crew, consisting of fifty- eight men, Spaniards and others, were put on board an English vessel at Rio. The captain jumped overboard during the chase, with all his papers.The merchandise found on board the Gabriel was valued at 8000 pounds. The Acorn had not time to ascertain to what country the vessel which was being pillaged by the Gabriel belonged, but she carried English colours. Captain Blay also reports that the English merchants resident at Rio have presented Captain Lecosannet, of the Roland, with a handsome gold chronometer and snuff box, and given to each of his crew a hundred francs, in testimony of the sense entertained of their humanity in saving the crew and passengers of the India.

Lithograph with hand colouring. Very fine. Printed area: 315 x 450mm (12½ x 17¾"). Framed.
Founded as the Port of Plymouth Royal Clarence Regatta Club in 1827, the Royal Western Yacht Club was founded in 1833. Its original aims were to hold an annual regatta, to organise an active social programme and to stimulate improvements in naval architecture through yacht racing, and the Club still holds to the principles of those original aims today. In those early years the Club's principal strength proved to be in long distance cruising. Its members' yachts, wearing the Blue Ensign, a privilege given to them in a Warrant granted by Queen Victoria, were to be seen in the farthest corners of the globe, from France and St Petersburg to Cape Town, Ceylon, South America and the USA. At the same time the Club's active involvement in racing grew consistently. As well as running an annual regatta the Club was soon organising an annual series of races for J Class Yachts, an event which continued for over 100 years until 1934.

'Warspite' was built and launched, at Chatham in 1807 as a 74-gun two-decker. After an active career, in the Napoleonic Wars and including service in the Anglo-American 'War of 1812' when she took three U.S. privateers, she was decommissioned in 1815. In 1840 her second remodelling reduced her to a one-deck, 50-gun frigate, as shown here, for service on the home station. Lord John Hay commanded her between 1841 and 1845, visiting New York in 1842 to take Lord Ashburton to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. She remained at sea until 1862 when she was loaned to the Marine Society as a boys' training ship. Accidentally burned by fire at Woolwich in 1876, her wreck was subsequently broken up on the Thames.
