HMS Foudroyant and Cutty Sark

This image is of HMS Foudroyant and Cutty Sark at Falmouth about 1920. This Foudroyant is not the one in the other image, but the former 38-gun frigate HMS Trincomalee, which replaced her after her wreck and was renamed Foudroyant. Cutty Sark is of course the famous Clipper ship.

Interestingly both ships were preserved as museum ships and can be visted to this day. Restored to her former name, Trincomalee, is in Harlepool and Cutty Sark at Greenwich.
