A line drawing of a man with short curly hair, wearing a heavy naval coat and gloves, with a baby emperor penguin under each arm. He looks disgruntled at this situation

I heard it’s #AntarcticaDay! Hope you wanted a thread of my sketches related to the Ross Antarctic Expedition (1839-43) because that’s what you’re getting!

Painting of the Battle of Quiberon Bay by Nicholas Pocock

#OTD 1759– The Battle of Quiberon Bay

The battle which inspired ‘Heart of Oak’ & stopped French plans to invade Britain. Mahan wrote that it was 'the Trafalgar of the Seven Years War'

24 British ships of the line under Edward Hawke engaged 21 French, commanded by Marshal de Conflans
