Princess Anne, The Princess Royal was presented with Print No 1 by the officers of RNAS Culdrose for her part in the Trafalgar 200 commemorations. Buckingham Palace agreed: "the Princess was delighted to receive this beautiful picture", "The Princess was over the moon" wrote our contact. Usually only original paintings are given to Royalty.

The Keeper and Curator of H.M.S. Victory, Peter Goodwin said,"so convincing it makes me feel I could punch the canvas".

H.M. Schooner "Pickle", first with the news of the victory at Trafalgar and death of Nelson, arrived at Falmouth, Cornwall on the 4th of November 1805, a date still celebrated in the Royal Navy as "Pickle Night".

The painting: "H.M.S. Pickle" is shown here during her dramatic 1,000 mile voyage to England in the great gales which followed the battle. "Pickle" sighted another ship which gave chase; fortunately she turned out to be "H.M.S. Nautilus". "Pickle" commenced to signal her dramatic dispatch by flying flags 2214, an 1805 (Popham's) code signal.
