Although I used one of Turner's sketches for the position of several of the vessels I have altered the viewing angle and composition to add a little depth and drama.

The River Medway 1825
The second finished painting inspired by JMW Turner's sketches done on the River Medway. This view along Chatham Reach shows the Naval storehouses lining the river. In the foreground an old 74 gun ship of the line is recommissioning and is moored alongside an accommodation hulk. To the right a frigate is in the process of getting underway to catch the evening tide.
