John Corbett (1822-1893)
CORK HARBOUR, (TRIPTYCH)
watercolour
4.70 by 41½in. (12 by 104cm)
John Corbett entered the Royal Navy in 1835. During his extensive and
successful career he travelled in the Mediterranean, Africa and the Far
East. In 1864 Corbett was appointed captain of HMS Hastings, flagship
of Rear-Admiral Lewis Tobias Jones at Queenstown, now Cobh, a post
he would hold for two years. Hastings served as costal defence vessel
from 1857. It is most likely that this particular scene of Cork Harbour
was captured by Corbett during his service on HMS Hastings.
