The Naval Review: Dance on Board H.M.S. "Caesar", 91, Capt. Robb - from a sketch by J. W. Carmichael, 1856. Entertainment after a display by warships of the Royal Navy. 'In the evening...there were several festive commemorations of the event in the town of Portsmouth and in the fleet. In heartiness and real enjoyment, probably, neither of these festivities exceeded the dance on board H.M.S. Caesar, Captain John Robb, whose amiable wife and her youug lady friends joined the officers in the gay scene which our Artist has depicted. Under the influence of a well appointed orchestra and an invigorating sea breeze the dance assumed an energy and spirit beyond that which usually characterises such recreations on shore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
