This painting is unique and original and was painted entirely by me. The hull form was copied from a black and white sketch by Wm. Van de Velde, and the sail form, rigging and background detail were composed by me.

The Royal Charles was the renamed Naesby of 1654, and was renamed by the king upon his return to England after years in hiding in the Nederlands. She was captured by the Dutch in the 2nd Anglo Dutch Sea War in a raid led by de Ruyter on medway. She was taken to Holland, but her hull size was to great for any Dutch port, so she was eventually brocken up.
