Duckworth's action at San Domingo, 6 February 1806
This is a preliminary plan for the large oil painting (NMM BHC0571) of Sir John Thomas Duckworth's victory off San Domingo (see also PAD8818 for a more final plan of the action). This action formed a somewhat overlooked postscript to Trafalgar in destroying French naval power in the West Indies. Duckworth's 'Superb' is shown approaching the French flagship 'Imperial' in the centre, with the other ships involved also named. Compass directions indicate the orientation and Pocock's southward-looking composition is indicated by the lines radiating out from a viewpoint at the bottom.
