An incident during the American Revolutionary War, 1775-1783. In 1777 Captain William Locker sailed to the West Indies station in the frigate Lowestoffe, 32 guns, with the young Horatio Nelson as his second lieutenant. They arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, in July with a convoy of 18 sail of merchantmen. When the Lowestoffe captured an American merchant ship or privateer, on 20 November, a rough sea made the first lieutenant reluctant to try to board it and take formal possession. However Nelson volunteered for the task and succeeded in boarding the prize despite the heavy sea. The painting denotes the moment that Nelson leaves the Lowestoffe for the ship's boat that will take him to the captured privateer.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting by Richard Westall depicts a significant moment in the life of Horatio Nelson during the American Revolutionary War. In 1777, aboard the frigate 'Lowestoffe', Nelson, then a young second lieutenant under Captain William Locker, displayed his bravery and determination when faced with capturing an American merchant ship or privateer.
The scene captures Nelson boarding the captured ship on 20 November 1777, despite rough seas and initial hesitation from his fellow officers. With his fearless spirit and unwavering commitment to duty, Nelson volunteered for the task and successfully took formal possession of the prize.
As he leaves the safety of his own vessel for the ship's boat that will transport him to the captured privateer, Nelson's courage shines through in this dramatic portrayal. The painting beautifully encapsulates this pivotal moment in history, showcasing Nelson's early display of leadership and valor that would eventually lead him to become one of Britain's greatest naval heroes.
This artwork serves as a timeless tribute to Horatio Nelson's remarkable legacy and enduring impact on maritime history.
