Monarch at Sheerness from the Trafalgar 29 January 1851, 1851 (pen, ink, watercolour)
7342247 Monarch at Sheerness from the Trafalgar 29 January 1851, 1851 (pen, ink, watercolour) by Mends, George Pechell (1815-71); 25.5x37.2 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Captain George Pechell Mends
Inscribed top left, Monarch. Sheerness / Jany 29th 51 / from Stern Port Trafalgar'. The view is up the Medway towards Chatham, from the Sheerness side, showing Monarch from off the port bow, with her topmasts struck down. Though she carries both main and topmast yards she is on harbour service, without her running rigging; she flies the white ensign. The river curves to the right beyond the ship, to whose left in the distance is the smoke of a steamer, probably a naval picket vessel if their presense in Mends's other Sheerness sketches is a guide. A stiff breeze is blowing roughly from the east and the choppy river is of an authentically muddy colour.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic 'Monarch' at Sheerness from the 'Trafalgar' on 29 January 1851, a moment frozen in time by artist George Pechell Mends. The intricate details of this pen, ink, and watercolor masterpiece transport us back to the bustling Medway River with Chatham in the distance.
The 'Monarch', with her topmasts struck down and main and topmast yards still intact, sits proudly in harbor service as she flies the white ensign. The choppy river reflects an authentically muddy color under a stiff breeze blowing from the east. In the background, a steamer's smoke billows into the sky, adding to the lively atmosphere of naval activity.
Mends's skillful hand brings life to this historical scene, capturing not just a ship but also a moment in maritime history. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, from the rigging on 'Monarch' to the distant horizon where other vessels await their call to duty.
As we gaze upon this artwork from National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back to a time when ships ruled these waters and seafaring adventures awaited around every bend of the river.
