Description
English: The remains of Lord Viscount Nelson proceeding from Greenwich Hospital

The poem below the image is attributed as an extract from 'Nelson's Tomb' by William Thomas Fitzgerald. The print shows the cortege bringing Nelson's coffin from its lying in state in the Painted Hall to the barge which bore it up to Whitehall (in blustery weather) on 8 January 1806. Greenwich Pensioners line the route, but with Marines closer to the gate where the public press in on the Five-Foot Walk.
