Night Attack on the Newcastle by Robert Taylor.

Hit and run attacks by fast moving German E-Boats were a constant threat to vital Allied shipping in the Mediterranean during the second World War. Often made under cover of darkness, these fast, highly manoeuvrable craft would speed through a convoy, release their torpedoes, and disappear into the night. During the night of 15 June 1942 German E-Boats of the 3rd Flotilla left their Eastern Mediterranean base at Derna to intercept an Allied convoy bound for the island of Malta. Shortly after midnight, under the command of Leutnant Seigfried Wuppermann, the motor torpedo boat S-56 slipped past two Royal Navy escort destroyers to make a stern attack on the British cruiser HMS Newcastle. Alerted to the incoming attack, suddenly a searchlight at Newcastles foremast switched on, illuminating S-56 from stem to stern. Reacting quickly, Wuppermann fired two torpedoes in quick succession from 600 yards, and turned hard to starboard to make good his escape. A second searchlight aboard Newcastle pin-pointed S-56, but by then it was too late. Travelling at 33 knots, under fire from the escorts, S-56 threw out a smoke screen and released depth charges as a distraction, and disappeared into the darkness. Robert Taylors action packed painting shows S-56 some thirty seconds after release of her torpedoes, as the first explodes against the hull of HMS Newcastle. The second will strike a few seconds later. The cruiser, though badly damaged, limped back to Alexandria.

Secret Operation by Robert Taylor.

Submariners are a special breed of sailor. Their environment, operating deep beneath the surface of the waves, is both unnatural and dangerous, and demands men of cool courage and exceptional quality. Prowling the depths like a mammoth shark, sometimes hunted, submarine crews live and fight, and sometimes die together, alone in the remote expanses of the worlds great oceans. Regardless of national flag under which they sail, this small elite Silent Service is both feared and admired by all who sail the seas. Plying their deadly trade in World War Two, the German U-boats posed such threat to the vital Atlantic convoys; Winston Churchill feared the submarine threat more than anything Hitler had at his disposal. Hunting in wolf packs, roaming the shipping lanes far beyond the reach of protective aircraft, they decimated the Allied merchant vessels during the Battle of the Atlantic. Manned entirely by volunteers, British and American submarines saw action in every maritime theatre during the great conflict of 1939 - 1945, the crews fighting their solitary, stealthy, secret war with courage and nerves of steel. This print captures the menacing beauty of a submarine on the surface: S-Class type HMS Sceptre slips her moorings in Scapa Flow, Scotland, and glides quietly into the North Sea to begin another top secret underwater operation. On the conning tower the skipper takes a final look across the water to the distant highlands while the crew savour the fresh salt air knowing soon they will submerge into their eerie, silent, artificial world, beneath the waves.

D-Day Normandy Landings by Robert Taylor.

On June 6, 1944, no fewer than 4000 ships landed 133,000 assault troops on the beaches of Normandy. A further 23,000 parachuted in, whilst Allied aircraft flew 14,000 sorties on that historic day. By the end of August 200,000 seamen had transported two million troops across to France. It was the greatest and most successful military invasion in history, which led to the downfall of Hitlers Germany, and the end of the war in Europe. Robert Taylors painting captures the very essence of that herculean battle. The painting is dominated by one of the many large transport ships, lowering her landing craft under bombardment from shore batteries. Barrage balloons flying, this massive fleet sailed into the teeth of the German defences, to land its invasion forces against all odds.

HMS Belfast by Robert Taylor.

At the outbreak of World War II, H.M.S. Belfast had already joined the Home Fleet operating out of Scapa Flow. Patrolling north of the Faeroes in October 1939 she came across and captured the German liner Cap Norte. This success was short-lived, however, when she struck a mine, the explosion breaking her back. HMS Belfast rejoined the Home Fleet in November 1942, under the command of Captain (later Admiral Sir Frederick) Parham, HMS Belfast was the largest and arguably the most powerful cruiser in the Royal Navy. After repairs and modernisation she was the best-equipped cruiser afloat. Later she went on to play an important role in the Normandy Landings of June 1944.

Hornblower and the Indefatigable by Robert Taylor.

Winter in the Bay of Biscay brings ferocious gales and bitter cold discomfort for ships crews aboard the British frigate Indefatigable. Horatio Hornblower, C.S. Forresters dashing eighteenth-century naval officer, experienced the worst of conditions at sea while serving the arduous task of blockading the ports off the west coast of France. The excitement of battle came as welcome relief. Roberts magnificent painting depicts an exchange of cannon fire between Indefatigable - on the left - and a 40-gun French frigate attempting to run the blockade on a chill winters morning. Moments later the two hulls crashed alongside each other, and the Frenchman was boarded and taken.

Chance Encounter by Robert Taylor.

December 7, 1941 was, said President Roosevelt a day of infamy. The surprise attack by Japanese aircraft on that fateful day, brought America into a war that was to become global. The Japanese airstrike was the first of many attacks that day against America and other Allied Forces in the Pacific. Within a few days the British capital ships Prince of Wales and Repulse were sunk, the Japanese had landed on the coast of Malaya, Guam was seized, Hong Kong taken, and landings were made in the American held Philippines. In those first grim days of the Pacific War one territory after another quickly fell to the Japanese onrush - resistance, though heroic, was almost futile as the unprepared Allies were simply overwhelmed. Retaliating as best they could, Allied Forces hit back wherever possible and one of the first successes was by Dutch Forces on 23 December, just 16 days after Pearl Harbor. A Japanese invasion fleet had been spotted steaming south towards British Borneo. Royal Netherlands Navy submarine K XIV, alerted to their position, was heading west in order to make an interception. But the Japanese changed course on to an easterly heading during the night and made for the beaches off Ktiching - the opposite direction to that of the submarine. However a patrolling Dornier 24 of the Royal Netherlands Navy sighted the fleet on its new course, and by a remarkable chance encounter also spotted the submarine on the surface, and immediately signalled the location, course and speed of the convoy. The submarine quickly engaged the Japanese in the shallow waters off the landing beach head, causing chaos amongst the fleet. Two ships were sunk and another two severely damaged. The Dornier, despite being heavily engaged by Pete floatplanes from a Japanese heavy cruiser, managed to return safely to base.

Spitfire Clipper by Robert Taylor Tea carried down the Min River from the plantations on Chinese junks, is loaded aboard the American clipper Spitfire in Pagoda Anchorage, Foochow, October 1857. In this busy port scene a steam tug approaches, indicating the Clipper is almost ready to sail for London, a voyage that she will complete in 113 days.

Hornblower and the Indefatigable by Robert Taylor Winter in the Bay of Biscay brings ferocious gales, mountainous seas and bitter cold discomfort for ships' crews. Early in his assignment aboard the British Navy frigate Indefatigable, Horatio Hornblower, C.S. Forrester's dashing eighteenth-century naval officer, experienced the worst of conditions at sea while serving the arduous task of blockading the ports off the west coast of France. The excitement of the battle came as welcome relief.

The painting depicts an exchange of cannon fire between Indefatigable - on the left - and a 40 gun French frigate attempting to run the blockade on a chill winter's morning. Moments later the two hulls crashed alongside each other, and the Frenchman was boarded and taken.

Flying Cloud by Robert Taylor American clipper, en route to load tea, arriving at Hong Kong, May 1860, 97 days out of London. En Route to Foochow, she will load tea for the return voyage. Of all the American clippers, the Flying Cloud had by far the most impressive record. During two short decades in the mid-nineteenth century, the sea's great trading routes were dominated by a new and spectacular design of craft.  Slim-hulled ships with towering masts and great billowing clouds of sail, they were the culmination of the Yankee's obsession with speed.  In their brief but golden era they reigned supreme, were marvelled at by people the world over, and created a legend in maritime folklore.  They were the mighty American Clippers.   Never before had ships stirred the hearts of seafarers quite the way these magnificent wooden ships did, with their long, lean lines, sharp bows, raked masts and massive spreads of canvas that drove them relentlessly through the wind swept seas with breathtaking speed.  In a single generation they came and went.  But during their brief time they represented the zenith of the age of sail and have fired the imagination of marine painters ever since.  Robert Taylor's compelling work, capturing all the hustle and bustle of a Far Eastern port at the height of the tea trade, is now reproduced as a spectacular limited edition print.

Farewell America by Robert Taylor The Queen Mary sails majestically past the Statue of Liberty as she departs from New York, bound for Europe, early post war.  Signatories: Captain Treasure Jones, last captain of the Queen Mary.

Titanic by Robert Taylor Though she never completed her maiden voyage, the RMS Titanic is arguably the most famous ship that ever sailed,  Since that fateful night of April 15th, 1912, when the new flagship of the White Star Line struck an iceberg in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, the tragic legend of the Titanic has never ceased to fascinate generation upon generation.  As she glided majestically down the Solent towards the open sea, carrying passengers for the first time, no one doubted she would dominate the north Atlantic routes to the New World.  She was the grandest ship afloat; no ocean liner was more opulent, no ship was more powerful; she was unsinkable.  The passage of time has done little to dim the memory of the tragic events that surrounded the Titanic disaster, and with constant reminders from film, TV, and books galore, interest in the ship has never been greater.  To many she was the greatest ship ever built.  Her life was short yet magnificent; her epitaph: She is the ship that never died.

Passengers aboard the Isle of Wight ferry are treated to the unique spectacle of the world's newest, most gracious steamship as she sets out on her maiden voyage, April 1912.

Night Attack on the Newcastle by Robert Taylor  During the night of 14/15th June 1942 German E-Boats of the 3rd Flotilla left their base at Derna to intercept an Allied convoy bund for Malta. Before 04.00, under the command of Leutnant Seigfried Wuppermann, the motor torpedo boat S-56 slipped past two Royal Navy escort destroyers to make her attack on HMS Newcastle. Alerted to the incoming attack a searchlight on Newcastle switched on illuminating S-56. Wuppermann fired two torpedoes and turned hard to starboard to make his escape. A second searchlight pin-pointed S-56but it was too late.

Secret Operation by Robert Taylor

This print captures the menacing beauty of a submarine on the surface: S-Class type HMS Sceptre slips her moorings in Scapa Flow, Scotland, and glides quietly into the North Sea to begin another top secret underwater operation. On the conning tower the skipper takes a final look across the water to the distant highlands while the crew savour the fresh salt air knowing soon they will submerge into their eerie, silent, artificial world, beneath the waves.

Signatures for the above print:

Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Lumby KCB, OBE, DSO, DSC.

Mike Limby completed his submariners training in Dec 1938. Joining HM Submarine Sturgeon, he was aboard that boat at the outbreak of war, serving in Norwegian waters. On 22 Apr 1942 he took command of HM Submarine Saracen, where he won the DSO for the sinking of U335. On 5 Nov 1942 Saracen took part in Operation Torch - the Allied ladings in North Africa, and on 9 Nov he sighted and sank the Italian submarine Granito, being awarded the DSO. In late July 1943 Saracen was heavily damaged by enemy depth-charges and a few days later was subjected to a further depth-charge attack by two Italian corvettes. Lumby and all but four of his crew were forced to abandon the boat, destroy it and surrender themselves. He remained a POW until repatriated in May 1945.

Commander Edward Young DSO, DSC, RNV(S)R

Edward Young joined up as a young Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in April 1940. Four months later he entered the submarine service and became the first RNVR officer ever to do so. After three years of almost continuous active patrols off Norway and Russia, in the North Sea, the Bay of Biscay and in the Mediterranean Theatre - and after surviving a harrowing escape from a sunken submarine, he became the first 'wavy striper' from the RNVR to take command of an operational submarine, HM Submarine Storm.

Vice-Admiral Sir Ian McGeoch KCB, DSO, DSC

Having specialised in submarines in 1937, becoming third hand aboard HM Submarine Clyde, Ian McGeoch rose quickly through the ranks to become a commissioned officer. In 1942 he was appointed to command HM Submarine Splendid undertaking many highly successful active war patrols. On 21 April 1943 however Splendid's luck ran out whilst on patrol in the Bay of Naples. Depth-charged, they were forced to the surface. Wounded by enemy gunfire Lieutenant McGeoch and his surviving crew members were taken prisoner of war. During captivity he made many escape attempts, finally he succeeded and with the help of the local Resistance made it back home to England to continue his naval service.

Vice-Admiral Sir Ian McIntosh KBE, CB, DSO, DSC

Ian McIntosh volunteered for the submarine service in 1940. After completing his training, he joined HM Submarine Porpoise in 1941, at the time undertaking mine laying operations in home waters. Porpoise was then dispatched to the Mediterranean Sea to join the First Submarine Flotilla based in Alexandria. In February 1943 Ian McIntosh was appointed to command HM Submarine Sceptre operating in Norwegian waters and in the Bay of Biscay.
