Fading Down The River

The future comes for us all eventually. No matter how many times we have fought the good fight. So on the morning of September 1838, the HMS Temeraire, known as the ‘Fighting Temeraire’, was towed down the Thames to her final destination.  On that day the artist William Turner looked upon the scene and immortalised it in what was later to become the nation’s favourite painting.

But there is more to this story than just a painting. Only perhaps, it is not the story you were expecting…
