Description

View of the Hon,,ble Companys Ship WARREN HASTINGS, a few Minutes before her Action with LA PIE'MONT'AISE (French Frigate) on the 21,st June 1806.

[bottom left, below edge of view:] Warren Hastings. 40 Guns [blank space] Men [bottom right, below edge of view:] La Piémontaise 40 Guns, 385 Men.

A view of the East India Company's ship Warren Hastings just before being brought into action with the French frigate Piedmontaise on 21 June 1806 near the Cape of Good Hope. Napoleonic Wars (1803-15).

One of a pair of views representing the East Indiaman Warren Hastings before her encounter with the French frigate Piemontaise and the point after the battle when the Captain of the Warren Hastings was surrendering to the French. The second view (RCIN 735130) depicts the destruction suffered by the Warren Hastings at the hands of the French. At the time of surrender, her gun room was on fire and the fore and main masts were wrecked, and the mizzenmast had fallen forwards blocking every gun on the upper deck. At the time of the engagement, the Warren Hastings, nominally a 40-gun ship, had only 36 guns in service and a crew of 138 men and boys.

In this view the Warren Hastings appears to be flying a Red Ensign, not the flag of the East India Company. The Red Ensign was used for British merchant shipping at this time.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1821, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
