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.

“Greenland whale fishery” came to refer to whaling in the waters between Spitsbergen and Greenland. Whaleships followed the northward summer migration of the bowhead, sailing first to Spitsbergen, then drifting west to the edge of the East Greenland ice pack. The season generally laster four to five months. The identity of the two British whaleships in Robert Dodd's portrayal is unknown, but it is almost certain they were London-based vessels operating out of the Thames from where the largest British whaling fleet was based until well into the nineteenth century. By the mid-eighteenth century, the shortage of Arctic whales was already sending the whaling fleets as far away as Greenland. The Howland Great Wet Dock at Rotherhithe - built at the end of the seventeenth century - was, in 1763, renamed the Greenland Dock. In 1783, the year in which Dodd completed the painting from which this engraving is done the British whaling industry saw a marked revival after a wartime depression. The trade soon began to revive after the peace settlement with both France and the United States. An increase in the government whaling bounty was an added incentive to put more vessels into this extremely lucrative trade. This painting was engraved and published twice. The first occasion by John & Josiah Boydell of Cheapside in 1789 and again in 1795, by Fran. Ambrosi. Two separate printings would suggest a strong popular demand amongst whaling ship owners, masters and crews, for whom a generic image would perhaps be rather more attractive than one of vessels belonging to their rivals. See ref:20315 for the companion picture and information of the engraver.
