Lord Nelson waves goodbye to the crowd at Portsmouth. Lord Nelson joins his ship HMS Victory before the battle of Trafalgar.

Goodbye My Lads by Fred Roe.
21st October 1805. As Admiral Nelsons flagship leads the British fleet towards the Franco-Spanish line, Captain Harveys Temeraire tries to pass the Victory in order to be the first to break the enemy column.  Harvey was discouraged with a customry 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 Collingwoods fleet can be seen spearheading a separate assault to the south.  In the light airs preceding the battle, much sail was needed to drive the British ships towards the enemy line. HMS Victory, nearest, has royals and stunsails set and is making good way, her furniture boats strung behind in readiness for battle.  On her poop deck, officers prepare to run up a signal.

Prelude to Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman
Having taken terrible punishment from the guns of the allied French and Spanish fleet as she broke through the line, HMS Victory found herself engaged by the French Redoutable, a bitter battle that saw the two ships locked together, pouring shot into one another with terrifying ferocity and which left the British Admiral, Lord Horatio Nelson fatally wounded.  In the background, HMS Neptune is emerging through the gunsmoke and is about to pass the wreck of the French flagship Bucentaure which Victory so spectacularly routed as she passed through the allied line.  HMS Temeraire, which followed Victory through, and which was also to become embroiled on the Redoutables fight, is obscured by the smoke beyond the British flagship.

The Battle of Trafalgar, 1.00pm 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.
