The exhibition's showpiece is a large oil painting by Samuel Drummond which shows the dying Nelson being carried below the Victory's decks.

It was bought by the Ben Burgess collection in Ireland and has religious connotations.

Curator's favourite

The curator's favourite piece is an 1804 Toleware snuff box which is on display in the Naval Room.

The Toleware snuff box - the curator's favourite item.

"It has a little lid with a Nelson picture on and it is so naive - even crude," says Faith Carpenter.

"It's got a long neck and a big circular head and it's really sweet," she added.
