This final voyage was depicted in a J. M. W. Turner oil painting greeted with critical acclaim, entitled "The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last Berth to be broken up, 1838". The painting continues to be held in high regard: it was voted Britain's favourite painting in a BBC radio poll in 2005 and it appears briefly in the James Bond movie "Skyfall". A reproduction of the painting appears on the back of the Bank of England £20 note issued in 2020.
