'I brought her into Plymouth...' Written by Mandy N (10/13/2008 4:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Our touch with the Great Nation, penned by Rae

I think the capture of the French frigate establishes Wentworth as a self-reliant, professional man prepared to take risks.
Presumably, the fact Wentworth is a navy officer would ensure his popularity amongst JA's readers, who had good reason to be grateful to the Navy, with recent wars against France.

Great pictures, thanks for the links to the Maritine Museum.
