This 1799 painting by Nicholas Pocock shows why the British were so concerned at the status of Ireland and its likelihood of being used by the French as a springboard to an invasion of Britain itself. The picture shows the French squadron being attacked by a British detachment under the Command of Sir J. B. Warren, Oct. 12th 1798. |
