English: A view of the beginning of the action between H.M. sloop Arrow and Acheron by the French off Cape Palos on 5 February 1805. Napoleonic Wars (1803-15).

The captain of the bomb vessel HMS Acheron was Arthur (later Sir Arthur, and Rear-Admiral) Farquhar (1772-1843). The Acheron (8) and the Arrow (28) were, under Farquhar's command, in charge of a convoy, but were captured, after a strenuous defence, by the two larger French frigates Incorruptible and Hortense. Court martialled after the action, Farqhar was honourably acquitted.

This view shows the Acheron in the left foreground being attacked by one of the French frigates, and the Arrow in the right foreground, under fire from the other French ship.
