theprof739 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 So this painting has sat over the mantle of my parent's house for years. I never gat it much thought before I started playing Naval Action, but Now I'm curious what battle/event it depicts, what ships are shown, etc. I'm hoping someone here might recognize it and can enlighten me. Before you ask I checked the back of the painting, and there is no card or tag with the name or artist. Also, sorry for the crappy cell phone picture, it's the best i could manage with the lighting and my old phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderhorn Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If it's original, apparently it's worth about $7000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprof739 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 No such luck, unfortunately. Also after spending the past little while looking up the ships involved, atleast the ones I found names for and on pages written in English. It seems like the Endymion is the only Naval action ship which could be a stand in for a Participant in the Battle of Navarino, the HMS Glasgow. Though if Game-Labs adds a Téméraire one of these days *hint hint* then we'll get the 4/10ths of the allied SOL contingent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many captured merchantmen would have been able to fend privateers off had they been better equipped.

The one on taking the Triton is also pretty wow The taking of the Triton was very costly in human lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
