8668733 Sea Adventure: The last fight of the "Revenge" (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The last fight of the "Revenge." When Lord Thomas Howard's squadron of seven ships was surprised at the Azores in 1591 by a Spanish fleet of fifty-three, his second-in-command, Sir Richard Grenville, in the Revenge, stayed to embark the sick who had been landed. He also hoped to out-manoeuvre the enemy; unable to do this he fought the whole Spanish fleet single-handed. Although the Revenge, reduced to a wreck, was finally compelled to surrender after sixteen hours fighting, with the gallant Sir Richard mortally wounded and at last forced below, she enabled the rest to escape.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print titled "Sea Adventure: The last fight of the 'Revenge'" by English School, depicts a dramatic moment in naval history from the 16th century. The image showcases the heroic stand of Sir Richard Grenville aboard the Revenge, as he valiantly battles against a massive Spanish fleet single-handedly.
In 1591, Lord Thomas Howard's squadron was ambushed by a much larger enemy force at the Azores. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Sir Richard Grenville chose to stay behind on the Revenge to allow his comrades to escape safely. For sixteen hours, he fought relentlessly until his ship was reduced to a wreck and he himself mortally wounded.
The scene captures the intense struggle and sacrifice of Sir Richard Grenville as he defies all odds in defense of his crew and country. His bravery and determination are evident in every brushstroke of this powerful illustration.
This print is part of a series of cigarette cards on Sea Adventure issued by Hignett Brothers in 1939, offering viewers a glimpse into historical maritime events like this one. It serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience shown by individuals facing overwhelming challenges at sea.
