Nope, no reason. Just came across this site and thought I'd post these for the enjoyment of one and all. These are just a few of the hundreds of paintings (and other neat stuff) on this site.

In case you're interested, here's a link: Collection of Painting at RN Maritime Museum

Interesting Web site you found, yankeedame. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great pictures.

Here’s a naval portrait for you - Horatio Nelson as a young man. Very cool, confidence bordering on arrogance but with the intelligence to back it all up.

I love Turner’s naval scenes, too.
