Deviation Actions
Description
I just thought I would try and convert a painting with tall ships in. This was my attempt at something with all the rigging etc.
Oil painting by Charles Robert Patterson depicting the action between US Frigate Constitution and HMS Java, 29 December 1812. Constitution (at left), commanded by CAPT. William Bainbridge, exchanging broadsides with the British Frigate HMS Java off Brazil early in the action. During nearly two hours of battle, Java was dismasted and had to surrender. Her damage was so severe that she had to be burned. Photographed in 1948, when the original painting was hanging on board the Presidential Yacht USS Williamsburg.
US Navy photo 80-G-K-9451 now in the collections of the US National Archives
