A woolwork picture of HMS 'Agincourt' 1865. The hull, spars and guns are embroidered in silk; the sails, background and the sea in wool, the sails being padded with lambswool. Part of the ship's name can be seen on the stern of the vessel. She has a bow plate decorated with a Union Jack and White Ensign. There are spaces for two photographs at the top with tasselled borders of coloured silk (photographs of the maker were donated with the picture but do not quite fit). A cap ribbon inscribed 'HMS AGINCOURT' is mounted between the photograph spaces. The embroidery was acquired without a frame.

The maker, Chief Stoker Alfred Edward Broughton never served on this vessel. He entered the Royal Navy aged 19 in 1892 and was discharged in February 1919. He saw active service in HMS 'Hyacinth' blockading the coast of Somaliland and on anti-pirate duty in the Persian Gulf 1909-1910.

HMS 'Agincourt' was a 50-gun armoured frigate with a ram bow; she and her sister ships 'Minotaur' and 'Northumberland' were the largest warships to be propelled by a single screw. She was converted to a training ship and renamed 'Boscawen III' in 1904 and 'Ganges II' in 1906. From 1908 she was used as a coal hulk and was broken up in 1960.
