caption_attribution_description: English: HMS Formidable at Sheerness. No. 5 of 36 (PAI0849 - PAI0884). Detail This was drawn while Mends was first lieutenant of the 'Trafalgar' at Sheerness. A study done in pencil and brown wash inscribed, 'Formidable Sheerness - Medway / Dec 1850', showing the 84-gun two-decker 'Formidable' at anchor from ahead off the port bow, with another similar ship astern of her. Both are moored on harbour service with the lower masts only indicated in pencil. 'Formidable', which has her anchors hanging a-cockbill and a boat hoisted out on davits, had tremendous longevity. Her frames were captured on the stocks at Genoa in 1814, from which she was completed at Portsmouth in 1825. She was lent as a training ship in 1869 and only sold for breaking in 1906.
