Captain Harveys HMS Temeraire tries to pass HMS Victory at the beginning of the Battle of Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman.


Captain Harveys HMS Temeraire tries to pass HMS Victory at the beginning of the Battle of Trafalgar by Ivan Berryman.

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.

The flagship of Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, HMS Victory is shown leaving home waters before the Battle of Trafalgar

HMS Victory by Barry Price.		One of the most iconic ships ever to serve in the Royal Navy, The three-decked second rate HMS Temeraire was built at Chatham in 1798 and spent many years blockading the French port of Brest before her finest hour at Trafalgar on 21st October 1805 when she came to the rescue of HMS Victory before capturing two prizes, the Redoutable and Fougueux, spending much of the battle with her captives lashed to her sides. After spending her final years first as a prison hulk, then as a guard ship in the Medway, she was finally sold for scrap in 1838, her last journey being the subject of JMW Turner's most famous painting. In this view, Temeraire is shown leaving Plymouth in her pre-Trafalgar state before receiving her 'crowned head' figurehead.

HMS Temeraire Departing Plymouth by Ivan Berryman.		 The time is approximately 12.20pm on 21st October 1805. HMS Victory forces her way through the combined Spanish and French line, firing all her larboard guns into the stern of Admiral Villeneuve’s flagship. Bucentaure was utterly destroyed by the initial salvo with twenty of her guns smashed off their mounts and over 300 of her crew left dead or disabled. But Victory herself had suffered much during the perilous approach to the enemy fleet. Unable to bring any guns to bear, she received multiple hits from the Franco-Spanish ships, bringing down her mizzen top, her fore topgallant mast, her studding sails and smashing the ship’s wheel. The bowsprit, part of her figurehead and catheads were shattered, her anchors carried away and the entire bow, headrails and beakhead were peppered with shot. The title of the painting refers to a comment made by Admiral Horatio Nelson as HMS Victory began to receive fire from the enemy. A piece of hot shrapnel tore the buckle off Nelson’s shoe as he paced the deck with Captain Hardy, to which he responded, “It is warm work today!” Sadly, just one hour later, Nelson was fatally wounded by a sharpshooter stationed on the mizzen top of the French Redoutable which can be seen to the left of the painting. The towering spectre of HMS Temeraire looms in the gunsmoke as she follows HMS Victory into the fray.
