The ceremonial launch of H.M.S. Nelson, a 120-gun first rate. Launched in 1814, she was converted to screw propulsion and rearmed to 90 guns in 1860, before being handed over to the government of the Dominion of Victoria, Australia, in 1867. She was sold in 1898 as a storage hulk and later used as a coal hulk, and was finally scrapped in 1928. From 'The Thames' by Samuel Owen (c.1769-1857).

A Superb Aigrette, The Present of The Grand Signior to Admiral Lord Nelson, Called a Chelnigh, or Plume of Triumph...
[n.d., c.1800.]
Engraving. Sheet 165 x 95mm (6½ x 3¾"). Trimmed and laid on album paper.
A special chelengk, a diamond-encrusted Ottoman military decoration, presented to Admiral Nelson by Sultan Selim III in honour of the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Whether the artist had seen Nelson's chelengk is doubtful, because it does not match the replica in the National Maritime Museum (made after the original was stolen in 1951 and never recovered). Lemuel Francis Abbott painted Nelson in uniform with the chelengk in his hat, but again probably had not seen it.

On the left is a sketch portrait of a young Horatio Nelson drawn by Cuthbert Collingwood; on the right is a silhouette of Collingwood by Nelson. According to the National Maritime Museum, ''probably in late 1784, they met on Antigua at Commissioner Moutray’s house. Mrs Mary Moutray later recalled, ‘Nelson had lost his hair from fever, and its place had been so grotesquely supplied by the art of the West Indian perruquier, that Captain Collingwood said to him one day, ‘I must draw you, Nelson, in that wig.' ... When the laughter which created this was over, Captain Nelson said, ''And now, Collingwood, in revenge I will draw you in that queue of yours''. NNM PAD3989 for the lithograph, PAJ3941 & PAJ3942 for the original sketches.
