The Fighting Téméraire

Witness the dramatic twilight farewell of a legendary warship! The HMS Téméraire, once a heroic vessel from the Battle of Trafalgar, is being towed by a small, dark steam tugboat towards her final destination - the shipbreaker's yard. Turner captures a poignant moment of technological transition, with the majestic sailing ship silhouetted against a fiery sunset, symbolizing the end of an era.
