Davy Jenkins, a Glimpse into the Life of a Man-of-Wars Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-coloured engraving by George Cruikshank, we are transported back to 1826 and given a fascinating glimpse into the life of Davy Jenkins, an esteemed member of Greenwich Hospital. The image depicts various elements that defined the existence of a man-of-wars man during that era. Amidst the backdrop of towering ships and naval tools strewn about, Davy Jenkins stands proudly as a testament to his service in the navy. As a skilled carpenter, he is seen rearing up on planks with confidence and purpose. His presence exudes strength and resilience. The scene is not without its quirks; perched atop one of the planks sits an unexpected companion - a goat! Perhaps it serves as both company and entertainment for these seafarers during their long expeditions at sea. Surrounded by cacti with imposing horns, Davy Jenkins represents not only himself but also countless other sailors who dedicated their lives to serving in armed forces. The midshipmen nearby stand as evidence of camaraderie among troops within the navy. This remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images offers us insight into an important chapter in history when men like Davy Jenkins played vital roles in shaping naval expeditions. It reminds us of their unwavering commitment to duty amidst challenging conditions at sea. As we gaze upon this print today, let us appreciate those
