Summary

Description
English: The 'Sans Pareil' in Besika Bay, 3 October 1853. British two-decker, is inscribed, 'Sans Pareil - Besika Bay / Oct 3d 53 Capt Dacres', with 'airy Blue' and 'Yellow' as colour notes in the sky to the left of the ship, which is shown almost in starboard broadside view, drying sails.

This is cropped from the last page of Mends's 1850-53 sketchbook, covering his commission as first lieutenant of the 'Trafalgar'. In January 1854 he was promoted commander and went home to become second-in-command of HMS 'James Watt'. He therefore missed the 'Trafalgar's' part in the Crimean War campaign that followed in the Black Sea, though taking part in his new ship in the Baltic theatre of that conflict.
