Very dynamic and exciting.

The name rings a bell, but I'm not quite there with the significance? Last steam ship? Anyway, great postings, very dynamic.

Thanks Sandra and Gudrun for the comments. Gudrun, I meant my last attempt ( at least for now (-:) at depicting the great old ship H.M.S Temeraire. In Turners famous painting she was being towed (by a steam- powered tug boat) away to be broken up as a wreck after long service including the battle of Trafalgar. She served other duties after that including a prison and guard ship, until finally being scrapped in 1838?...In effect Turner's great painting was depicting her last journey....
