A detailed chart of Marsa Scirocco, with an inset of St Lucian's Tower.
In 1815, at the end of the Napoleonic War, Lieut. Smyth was posted to Sicily, which he used as a base to survey the coasts of Italy and Africa, with the islands in between. 32 charts and views were published by the Admiralty, which remained the core hydrography of the central Mediterranean until the end of the century. He published his own account, 'Memoir descriptive of the resources, inhabitants, and hydrography of Sicily and its islands...', in 1824. His final naval rank was admiral.
