This print titled "Bomb Ketches Saluting the 'Victory, ' December 1805" showcases a historical moment in British naval history. The color lithograph, created by Charles Edward Dixon in the early 20th century, depicts a scene from December 1805 when bomb ketches saluted the HMS Victory. The image portrays several bomb ketches, ranging from 250 to 370 tons, with their impressive armament of 13 and 10-inch mortars and 24-pounder carronades. These specialized vessels played a crucial role during naval warfare as they were designed to bombard enemy fortifications from a safe distance. In this particular instance, the bomb ketches are saluting the mighty HMS Victory, which was Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar. This significant event took place off Cape Trafalgar on October 21st, where Nelson achieved a decisive victory against Napoleon's combined French and Spanish fleets. The vibrant colors bring life to this historic moment as we witness these powerful warships paying tribute to their victorious counterpart. The print is part of Britannias Bulwarks series published around 1920 and provides an insight into Britain's maritime strength during that era. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of Great Britain's naval prowess and its contribution to European history. It symbolizes bravery, strategic warfare tactics at sea, and pays homage to those who fought for their nation on these magnificent
