Artist-Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Print on Paper by
GEOFF HUNT, Past-President R.S.M.A.
"HMS Surprise - Captured French ship Rated Fifth-Rate"
Though credited with 34 guns, this very small frigate might be better described as a corvette. Originally the French l'Unité, she was captured by H.M.S. Inconstant in April 1796 and is here seen arriving at Ajaccio. Renamed H.M.S. Surprise, she served until 1802 but is now best known for her subsequent fictional career in Patrick O'Brian's novels.
From Geoff Hunt's great series of twelve prints "Fighting Sail 1773 - 1815"
