Exhibited at the Royal Academy in $1839$, The Fighting Temeraire pays tribute to HMS Temeraire, a $98$-gun hero ship of the $1805$ Battle of Trafalgar. Turner poetically captures the aging 98-gun vessel being towed up the River Thames by a modern dark steam tug to be broken up. Juxtaposing the fading glory of the heroic wooden sailing era with the rising industrial age, Turner sets the scene against an extraordinary, fiery sunset bathed in molten gold, scarlet, and crimson.
