RN:
74-gun ship-of-the-line HMS Genoa at the Battle of Navarino, 20 October 1827
The author of the drawing was George Philip Reinagle (who saw the scene from HMS Mosquito), but the printer was Charles Joseph Hullmandel.
The ship-of-the-line was laid down in 1813 as one of the several Téméraire-class ships of the French Navy, in the Italian port of Genoa (then part of the French Empire); she was to be named Brillant. She was captured, still on the slipway, by the British in April 1814, as the city was occupied by British forces; taken over as HMS Genoa, she was duly launched the following year.
She would participate in the last great battle of the Age of Sail, the Battle of Navarino (20 October 1827), that saw the victory of a combined Anglo-French-Russian fleet over a mixed Turkish and Egyptian one. Supporting the flagship HMS Asia, the Genoa was hotly engaged and suffered serious losses (26 killed, the most of any allied ship, and 33 wounded); among those wounded was her captain, Walter Bathurst, who died in the night for his wounds.
