New Reading Marryat Blog Mug, which just so happens to use the William Behnes portrait of Captain Marryat on one side (same as this blog's icon)
...and on the other side, Thomas Whitcombe's painting, Destruction of the French Fleet in Basque Roads, same as this blog's header image. HMS Imperieuse is front and center, where young Mr. Midshipman Frederick Marryat served under Captain Thomas Cochrane.
