(1768-1842). Buttersworth exhibited only one painting at the Royal Academy, The Ville de Paris off the Tagus, 1813, (when he was living in Kennington, London) and one at the British Institution, The Battle of Trafalgar, 1825 (from an address on Trafalgar Street, Walworth). He painted fleet actions, single ship actions, ship portraits and general shipping scenes in both oil and watercolour. His pupil was his son, James Edward Buttersworth, (1817 -1994) who immigrated to New York around 1945 and became one of the most celebrated of America's Marine Painters. Thomas Buttersworth died in London in 1842.
