Descripción: Serres, Dominic; Gibraltar Relieved by Sir George Rodney, 1780; Royal Academy of Arts; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/gibraltar-relieved-by-sir-george-rodney-1780-149192 During the wars of American Independence Gibraltar Gibraltar was under siege of the Spanish, it was relieved by Sir George Rodney in January 1780. On the left towards the centre, there is a group of 13 warships. Several fly British ensigns from their stern. The ship to the right of the group with the tallest mast flying the flag of St George is Rodney's flagship, HMS Sandwich. Some of the ships fly white ensigns with a wheel-type design, probably intended to represent the Spanish ensign of the captured Spanish vessels that Rodney sailed to Gibraltar along with his English vessels. These included the Fenix, the flagship of Admiral Juan de Lángara, soon to be renamed HMS Gibraltar.Waddesdon motes
