Image description

Creator: after Sir Henry Raeburn A half-length portrait, slightly to the right, showing Captain Duff in his captain's full dress uniform of the 1795-1812 pattern. This is a copy of the original, which was painted about 1800. The son of a solicitor, George Duff first went to sea as a stowaway on a merchant vessel. Aged 13, he joined his uncle, Captain Robert Duff, in the Mediterranean, becoming a lieutenant at age sixteen. He saw action in the ‘Montagu’, in 1782, at the battle of the Saints. He was promoted commander in 1790 and post captain in 1793. A series of commands followed, culminating in the ‘Mars’, 74 guns, which he took into action at Trafalgar as part of Collingwood's Lee division. His battle was brutally short and as the ‘Mars’ engaged the ‘Fougueux’ and ‘Pluton’, a cannonball from the former raked across the quarterdeck and struck Duff in the neck, severing his head completely. His headless body was covered in a Union flag and the crew returned to the guns. He was buried at sea. There is a monument to Duff in St Paul's Cathedral.
