Implacable just passing HMS Foudroyant to be scuttled off St Katherine’s Deep, south of Isle of Wight
A small contact print. A distant view taken from an upper floor of a house in Bath Square, Old Portsmouth, looking towards the 74-gun third rate HMS Implacable being towed past Gosport to be scuttled off St Katherine’s Deep, south of Isle of Wight. The stern of the training ship HMS Foudroyant (now HMS Trincomalee) is seen to the right of the Implacable.
The upper works of the ship have been stripped off, including her figurehead and stern board decoration (now in the National Maritime Museum) and she is flying both the French Tricolour and British White Ensign from the stern.
