Rowland Langmaid (1897-1956)

Lieutenant Commander Rowland John Robb Langmaid studied under W.L. Wyllie. He served in the Royal Navy in both wars and for most of World War Two was stationed at the shore-based HMS Nile in Alexandria where he was appointed artist to the Mediterranean Fleet by Admiral Cunningham.

The National Maritime Museum has seventeen of Langmaid’s wartime paintings although he is perhaps better known for his etchings which include naval, yachting and other maritime subjects.

HMS Foudroyant ashore at Blackpool, 1897

Launched in 1798 Foudroyant enjoyed an unusually long career. After decommissioning in 1897 it was decided to exhibit her at various seaside resorts. She was towed to Blackpool but ran aground after a storm and was wrecked, her crew rescued by lifeboats. Much of the ship was salvaged by local furniture makers, indeed the panelling in the boardroom of Blackpool FC is made from Foudroyant timbers.
