One of the most decisive battles in the history of the Royal Navy, Nelsons defeat of the French fleet took place on 21st October 1805 off Cape Trafalgar and was conducted with not a single British ship lost, although few ships escaped severe punishment and loss of life on both sides was tragically high

The Battle of the Nile by Ivan Berryman.

Sunset over Aboukir Bay on 1st August 1798 as ships of the Royal Navy, led by Nelson, conduct their ruthless destruction of the anchored French fleet. To the left Saumarezs HMS Orion is moving into position on the Peuple Souvrain, while her starboard guns rake one of the French frigates inshore. Orion, like the Goliath, Zealous and Audacious, had slipped inside the line of the unprepared French fleet, while Nelson in the Vanguard directed a further eight ships to attack the outside, resulting in one of the most decisive naval victories ever. The French ships seen at anchor include Spartiate and Aquilon, whilst through the gap between Peuple Souvrain and the bowsprit of the Franklin, the British ships Defence and Minotaur can be seen approaching.


HMS Captain and HMS Southampton, 1796 by Ivan Berryman.

The 74 gun HMS captain, flying the flag of Commodore Horatio Nelson, lies at anchor at Sound Rock, Bahamas, in company with the 32-gun frigate HMS Southampton in 1796.


Trafalgar Aftermath by Ivan Berryman.

Ravaged by the combined guns of the allied French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar and by the great storm that followed the battle, a weary battered HMS Victory enjoys the relative calm as crew from HMS Neptune are despatched to take up the tow from the 3rd rater HMS Polyphemus for the final leg of her journey to the safety of Gibraltar, the flagship still bearing the body of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson.


Agamemnon Opens Fire on the Ca Ira, 13th March 1795 by Geoff Hunt.

Like most Royal Navy officers of his time, Nelsons continuing career was subject to the vicissitudes of the Services operational needs. After paying off Boreas in 1787 Nelson spent five years on the beach in his native Norfolk. In the winter of 1792, it looked as though, at last, Revolutionary France would declare war on England. To Nelsons delight, his endless entreaties to the Admiralty finally bore fruit. On 7th January 1793 he was appointed to command HMS Agamemnon. Nelson looked forward to his new command with enthusiasm. He was 34 years old, mature, experienced, with 14 years seniority on the post list and he had spent much of the last five years thinking about naval tactics. If Nelson was in the prime of life then so also was Agamemnon. Built twelve years previously, of New Forest Oak, she was launched at Bucklers Hard on the river Beaulieu in Hampshire and was, unusually at that time, for the technique was then still quite new, copper-bottomed. In 1793 Agamemnon was, for her size, one of the fastest warships afloat anywhere. Her 64 guns made her technically a thirdrate, by this date the smallest type to appear in the line of battle. Once in commission, Nelson decided that her size did not matter: far more importantly, she sailed well, and her strength and speed would offer opportunities a larger vessel might miss. It was said, she could outsail anything she could not outgun and outgun anything she could not outsail. As far as possible, Nelson recruited his crew from volunteers in Norfolk where he was well-known and which anyway had the reputation for producing fine seamen. The high proportion of volunteers undoubtedly contributed to the effectiveness of a ship that was to become renowned for its fighting efficiency. After a brief interlude of Channel patrols Agamemnon was soon despatched to the Mediterranean to serve under the command of Admiral Lord Hood. France had finally declared war on England on 1st February. For the next three years Nelson and Agamemnon served with distinction in a variety of naval operations in the Mediterranean. A happy ship, devoted to their Captain, Agamemnon was never far from the action. As might be expected with Nelson in command, many of the actions were somewhat unconventional. Perhaps the most notable of these was his involvement in the amphibious campaign in Corsica which finally resulted in the capture of Calvi. The incident portrayed in Geoff Hunts painting took place on 13th March 1795. By this time Lord Hood had been succeeded by Vice-Admiral Hotham as Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. Hothams hesitancy and caution did not endear him to Nelson. The blockade of Toulon, a central part of British naval strategy, continued under Hotham who on 6th March ordered part of the fleet to pursue seventeen enemy ships of the line and five smaller ships that had been observed emerging from Toulon, bound for Corsica. Poor winds handicapped the pursuit but at dawn on 13th March the British fleet found itself twelve miles from a retreating enemy with Agamemnon, the fastest ship in the fleet, pulling away from the rest except for Captain Fremantles Inconstant. The French might have escaped altogether but one of their 80-gun sIrips of the line - the Ca Ira - had been in collision with another and lost her fore and main topmasts. The Inconstant, a frigate of only 36 guns, engaged the Ca Ira but had to withdraw badly damaged. Agamemnon, now several miles ahead of the rest of the fleet, was the next to engage. By this rime the Ca Ira was in tow by the Vestale and was protected by two other ships of the line - one of 74, the other of 120 guns. Nelsons technique of dealing with the far larger Ca Ira which Nelson described as absolutely large enough to have taken the Agamemnon in her hold was to attack her from the stern so that the Ca Ira could never bring either of her devastating broadsides to bear. However, considerable damage was done by her stern chasers. Nelson had not intended to fire until he was almost touching the Ca Ira but he changed his mind, allowing Agamemnon to bear away from the line of pursuit so that her broadside could be fired. It is precisely this moment that is portrayed in the painting. For 2 and a half hours Agamemnon slowly closed on the Ca Ira in the light airs, slowed only by bearing away to fire her broadside. Although Agamemnon was constantly hit by the accurate stern chaser fire from Ca Ira and her sails and rigging considerably damaged none of the ships crew were killed although some were wounded. The Ca Ira, on the other hand, was hit constantly by the double-shotted broadsides and suffered heavy casualties. By 1pm the signal of recall had been hoisted by Hotham and to Nelsons great irritation the Ca Ira was allowed to escape. She was captured next day by a larger force of British ships but Nelson was appalled at Hothams decision not to continue his pursuit of the main fleet. Absolutely in the horrors, as he described it, he heard Admiral Hotham say: We must be contented: we have done very well. In a further letter about the action Nelson spelled out his own ambition: I wish to be an Admiral, and in command of the English fleet. I should very soon either do much, or be ruined. My disposition cannot bear tame and slow measures.

Trafalgar: HMS Royal Sovereign Prepares to Break the Line by Ivan Berryman.

Just minutes from opening fire, HMS Royal Sovereign, carrying the flag of Vice-Admiral Lord Cuthbert Collingwood, approaches the Franco-Spanish line at Trafalgar, prior to breaking through and delivering a devastating broadside into the black-painted Santa Ana. Royal Sovereign had already taken terrible punishment as it had approached the enemy line, unable to bring her own guns to bear. Ships depicted, left to right, are: Indomptable (Fr) Rhin (Fr) Santa Ana (Sp) Royal Sovereign (Br) and Fougeux (Fr)


The Battle of Trafalgar by Robert Taylor.

Robert Taylors magnificent painting shows Victory breaking through the enemy line at 1.00pm 21st October 1805. A broadside has crippled Admiral Villeneuves French flagship Bucentaure, seen off Victorys port side, while Nelsons gunners fire a second broadside into the Santisima Trinidad. Just astern, the Temeraire manoeuvres to trap the Redoubtable between herself and Victory, and thus seal her fate.

HMS Agamemnon by Ivan Berryman.

Considered by Lord Nelson as The finest 64 in the Service - indeed, his favourite ship, HMS Agamemnon was a two-deck third rate warship, lighter and faster than most 74s. Launched at Bucklers Hard in 1781, she saw action in many great battles, among them the Battle of Ushant, the Battle of Copenhagen and Trafalgar, by which time she was a veteran of 24 years service.
