HMS Sophie, Escorting Merchantmen across the Mediterranean Sea in 1802.

HMS Sophie is the focus of my inspiration after reading a book. The book was so vivid that this image popped into my head.

The Captain, in his ship, Hms Sophie, a 14 Gun Sloop/Brig, had been ordered to escort several Merchantmen across the Mediterranean Sea. The image I had while reading, is the image I have created. The Ships are from my imagination, entirely derived from the book and how I understood they would look.
