The Battle of the Nile by Ivan Berryman.
Sunset over Aboukir Bay on 1st August 1798 as ships of the Royal Navy, led by Nelson, conduct their ruthless destruction of the anchored French fleet. To the left Saumarezs HMS Orion is moving into position on the Peuple Souvrain, while her starboard guns rake one of the French frigates inshore. Orion, like the Goliath, Zealous and Audacious, had slipped inside the line of the unprepared French fleet, while Nelson in the Vanguard directed a further eight ships to attack the outside, resulting in one of the most decisive naval victories ever. The French ships seen at anchor include Spartiate and Aquilon, whilst through the gap between Peuple Souvrain and the bowsprit of the Franklin, the British ships Defence and Minotaur can be seen approaching.
