Towing HMS Howe into Ferrol harbour, Spain, freed by HMS Seahorse 30 March 1893
Illustration by Charles John de Lacy (1856–1929) from Cassell's History of England, pub circa 1905. Info from wiki: HMS Howe was an Admiral-class ironclad battleship built for the Royal Navy during the 1880s. On 2 November 1892, she ran aground on a shoal off Ferrol, Spain, due primarily to faulty charts, and was salvaged with great difficulty, being finally freed by HMS Seahorse on 30 March 1893.
