                      149. This painting was specially commissioned for the Officers' Mess lounge and it is still there.   It is titled
                      "Brandenburg Fleet Landing".   There were several stories about the painting and its execution.   Apparently it was not
                      tall enough when it arrived and they had to add a top and bottom strip.   Also the flags were flying upwind.   The flag on
                      the top was supposed to have been corrected but the stern flag could not be altered and had to be left.
