7295456 Stirrup hilted sword which belonged to Rear Admiral Sir James Clark Ross (1800-1862), 1825 (metal-gilt, ivory, steel, gilt, gilt wire, brass) by British School, (19th century); 81.3x2.9 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: This sword is of the 1805-1827 pattern but has been dated 1825 because that seems to be the probable correct date. It was given to the Museum by Captain T D Ross, R N, a direct descendant of James Clark Ross. James Ross was shipwrecked in 1825 when serving in the Fury and it is likely that he lost his sword on that occasion and that this one, which has the modified stirrup hilt of later swords of the 1805 pattern, was a replacement.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Stirrup hilted sword that once belonged to Rear Admiral Sir James Clark Ross. Dating back to 1825, this metal-gilt, ivory, steel, gilt wire, and brass masterpiece is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the 19th century British School.
The sword is of the 1805-1827 pattern but has been dated specifically to 1825 due to historical evidence. It was generously donated to the National Maritime Museum in London by Captain T D Ross, a direct descendant of James Clark Ross himself. The story behind this sword adds an element of intrigue - it is believed that James Ross lost his original sword during a shipwreck in 1825 while serving on the 'Fury', prompting him to acquire this replacement with its modified stirrup hilt.
The fine details and exquisite design of this weapon speak volumes about its significance and historical value. From the elaborate gilt decorations to the sturdy steel blade, every aspect of this piece reflects the skill and artistry of its creators.
This print not only showcases a remarkable artifact from naval history but also serves as a reminder of Sir James Clark Ross's adventurous spirit and contributions to exploration during his lifetime.
