Well, all seems to be well...except...the fleet would never be sailing that close to the coast. Primarily to avoid any weather change that would drive the ships on to a lee shore (run aground). Even though the Royal Navy controlled the seas along the Iberian Pennisula (Portugal and Spain) with their ever present blockade, it was usual practise to keep the main fleets out further to sea, over the horizon, with smaller ships (frigates, brigs, schooners, etc) patrolling close in shore. But I quibble...A good first effort. As I have mentioned to others, look over the sites: www.scrimshawgallery.com/Online gallery/Paintings and Prints (Geoff Hunt, Geoffery Huband, Charles Vickery, et al); and: www.age-of-sail.com, for some good reference material.....
