Literature:

Walter Shaw-Sparrow, “Prints & Drawings by Frank Brangwyn...” John Lane, The Bodley Head London, 1919, p. 219.

Illustrated in Robert Southey, “Life of Nelson”, Gibbings & Co., London, 1911, p. 276

Note:

A dramatic work with part of a looming battered battleship right in stormy seas, the crew trying to escape down ropes, a small rowing boat tossing in the waves to the left.  In the background more crippled vessels.  The lighting makes the whole scene almost surreal.
