EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Departure of the Ocean French Fleet from Brest, France, 1854" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in naval history. The print showcases an array of magnificent ships as they set sail from the bustling port of Brest. The Hercule, a powerful vessel with 100 guns, is being towed by the mighty Caffarelli, boasting an impressive 450 horsepower. Alongside them is the Jean-Bart, a formidable ship with 90 guns and 650 horsepower. As the day progresses, we see the Austerlitz remaining at Brest while other ships embark on their journey. The Duguesclin sets sail under the guidance of Rear-Admiral Charner's flagship and Primanguet's towing power of 400 horsepower. Meanwhile, Bruat's flagship Montebello proudly sails with its commanding presence and impressive firepower. The scene also includes notable vessels such as Borda, serving as a midshipmen's schoolship; Thetis, an old frigate transformed into a sailors' boys schoolship; and a practice brig for training purposes. The image beautifully captures not only these majestic ships but also important landmarks surrounding Brest Harbor. From Horse Shoe Battery to Portsic Point Lighthouse and Battery - each element adds depth to this historic depiction. With its intricate engravement technique and Victorian style aesthetics, this vintage print transports us back to an era where maritime prowess was celebrated through art. It serves as both a testament to naval achievements and a reminder of our rich cultural heritage.
