B0153. The Battle of Trafalgar, 2.30pm. The Taking of the Santisima Trinidad by Ivan Berryman. Dominating the centre foreground, the wreck of the largest ship at Trafalgar, the massive four decker Santisima Trinidad (130 guns), comes under further attack from the British Neptune (98 guns). All her masts have fallen, rendering the Spanish giant an unmanageable hulk. Elsewhere, the battle rages on with Temeraire and Victory engaged with the French Redoubtable, while to the right of the picture, the shattered, drifting remains of Villeneuves Bucentaure (80 guns) is approached by the Mars (74 guns). Conqueror (74 guns), off the Santisima Trinidads port quarter, is keeping up a distant fire to assist the Neptune. B0104. HMS Royal Sovereign at the Battle of Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman. Midday, 21st October 1805, and Admiral Collingwood's flagship, the 100-gun HMS Royal Sovereign, breaks the allied line and delivers a shattering broadside on the Spanish flagship Santa Anna. Making great speed, Collingwood's ship had breached the Franco-Spanish line some distance ahead of the rest of his van and the Royal Sovereign suffered heavily as she quickly drew the attentions of three French and three Spanish ships. To her starboard, the French Indomitable can be seen firing into the British flagship while, astern of the Santa Anna, Belleisle and Fougueux are engaging ahead of Mars, Monarca and Pluton. B0122. Prelude to Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman. 21st October 1805. As Admiral Nelson's flagship leads the British fleet toward the Franco-Spanish line, Captain Harvey's Temeraire tries to pass Victory in order to be the first to break the enemy column. Harvey was discouraged with a customary rebuke from Nelson and duly fell into line behind the flagship. The enemy can be seen spread along the horizon whilst, to the right in the distance, the leading ships of Admiral Collingwood's fleet can be seen spearheading a separate assault to the south. B0062. Battle of Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman. HMS Victory finally disengages from the wrecked Redoubtable, while the Temeraire, having broken from La Fougueux, remains locked with the French ship. At one point, all four ships had been on board of each other in line abreast, each firing broadside after broadside into each other. To the right of the painting, the French Bucentaure lies helpless, her vulnerable stern having been smashed by Victory's relentless gunfire. B0124. Trafalgar - The Destruction of the Bucentaure by Ivan Berryman. With her mizzen top already gone and her sails aloft having received severe punishment, Victory breaks through the line behind the French flagship Bucentaure, delivering a shattering broadside into her stern. So severe was this opening fire that the Bucentaure was effectively put out of the rest of the battle, although Admiral Villeneuve himself was to miraculously survive the carnage. Beyond Victory can be seen the French Redoubtable, which is receiving fire from Victory's starboard guns, and the Spanish San Leandro is in the extreme distance. Most of Victory's stunsails have been cut away, but it was her stunsail booms that became entangled with the rigging of the Redoubtable when she put her helm to port and ran onto her. Admiral Nelson fell shortly afterward, having received a fatal wound from a musket ball fired by a French sharpshooter in Redoubtable's mizzen fighting top. The Temeraire can be seen approaching the fray to the right. B0125. HMS Captain at the Battle of Cape St Vincent by Ivan Berryman. Viewed across the damaged stern of the 80-gun San Nicholas, Nelson drives HMS Captain onto the Spanish vessel in order that she can be boarded and taken as a prize, the British marines and men scrambling up the Captain's bowsprit to use it as a bridge. The San Nicholas then fouled the Spanish three decker San Joseph (112), allowing Nelson and his men to take both ships as prizes in a single manoeuvre. A British frigate is moving into a supporting position in the middle distance. B0204. 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 Saumarez's 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. B0220. 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
