Another "primitive" picture of a famous sea battle. Here's a link for those wishing to familiarize themselves with the action, etc.

PW to remove frame and to brighten the colors. Should make a nice addition to a wallpaper collection.
Enjoy; thanks for viewing.
Violence? Oh c'mon, Weese! It's a painting! (Dudes, you never know these days.)

one of the famous battles that 'Old Ironsides' had

Eyup. When we visited her in 1988, the crew were giving a spiel about 60 fights won and 0 lost. Not sure which number this one was, but it certainly was one of the most famous.

This was reputedly the battle where a cannon ball bounced off her side, resulting in a cheer and someone exclaiming "Her sides are made of iron!" Actually, double layers of oak. But the name "Old Iron Sides" stuck. Thanks for the photo. Glad to see the painting again! Keep up the good work! :-)
