Retour de l'île d'Elbe, 28 février 1815; rencontre du brick l'Inconstant avec le brick le Zéphir by Ambroise Louis Garneray, c.1852.

I was looking for more pictures of Malmaison by Auguste-Simeon Garnerey and found this guy who spells his name differently who is the brother of Auguste-Simeon. He was a sailor, fought in many Revolutionary and Napoleonic naval battles until he was taken prisoner by the English and kept on a hulk for nine years. He painted many nautical paintings, including some terrifying ones of whale hunting, that were mentioned by Melville in Moby Dick as the most accurate pictures of whaling he’d seen. He had a long career (not naval) after his release from England.

P.S. I doubt that Napoleon stood on the deck of l’Inconstant right at that moment.

La troisième bataille d'Ouessant/ The third battle of Ushant by Ambroise- Louis Garneray 1838.

What the French here call the third battle of Ushant is called the Fourth battle of Ushant in English or perhaps everyone is more used to : The Glorious First of June 1784. The famous battle of Lord Howe, succeeded in conquering six ships of the line of the French, and thus to confuse a food delivery to France.

Foudroyant and Pégase entering Portsmouth Harbour, 1782 by Dominic Serres, 1784

The Third Battle of Ushant,20–21 April 1782, was a naval battle fought during the American Revolutionary War, between a French fleet of three ships of the line protecting a convoy and two British ships of the line off Ushant, a French island at the mouth of the English Channel off the north-westernmost point of France. This was the third battle that occurred in this region during the course of the war.

The French tried to supply 19 transporters together with the 64-gun Actionnaire and the 74-gun Protecteur and Pégase and the frigates Indiscrète and Andromaque to the fleet of Admiral Bali de Suffren in his campaign for the reconquest of French property. However, they were sighted by the frigate HMS Artois and the HMS Foudroyant a third rate, ship of the line was sent after them. Despite bad weather, she managed to conquer the pégases. But the weather continued and so the Foudroyant had to ask for help. This help came in the form of the HMS Queen a second rate, ship of the line with 90- guns, who even managed to conquer the Actionnaire the next day. Shortly afterwards the possibility arose to hunt the protector Frederick Maitland, Captain of the Queen decided against it and instead hunted the transporters. Together with the frigate HMS Prudente they managed to conquer 12 of them. Not only that this battle cost 160 men their lives and about 2000 were captured. It also dealt Admiral Bali de Suffren a huge blow.
