Watercolour artist David Bell is renowned for his historic marine, aviation, and steam locomotive paintings. He combines great technical skill with imagination and vision to create evocative and atmospheric works with incredible attention to detail. This 1000-piece puzzle depicts a scene during the Battle of the Nile on 1 August 1798. It was here where Admiral Brueys anchored his fleet at the uncharted Aboukir Bay some 15 miles east of Alexandria. HMS Theseus, under Captain Miller, is seen anchoring alongside the French Spartiate with HMS Goliath just astern. Nelson is in HMS Vanguard behind HMS Aquilon which is anchored in the foreground on the right. Puzzle measures 48x68cm when complete.
