H.M.S. Arethusa 50 guns Captain T.M.C. Symonds

This print depicts 'Arethusa' from her starboard stern quarter, with 'Albion' and 'Britannia' on the horizon to the right of the composition. All three served at the Siege of Sevastopol in 1854 and it is possible that this portrait was made to commemorate their service - and that of Captain Thomas Matthew Charles Symonds who commanded 'Arethusa' - there.
