Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A first-rate under sail. Not a named-ship portrait and not a likeness.

Overview

The interval is already on HMS Royal Sovereign — Overview. Collingwood’s audacious solo lead — opening the Battle of Trafalgar 1805 — Overview a quarter-hour before Victory’s column engaged.¹

The Interval

This note covers that quarter-hour interval only. A clock time in minutes and a spoken line stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

The Sovereign note already records the two-column pairing. Spoken lines on the Collingwood note stay there. Royal Sovereign Coppering — Plymouth 1805 is the coppering, not this interval. Do not recopy “What would Nelson give to be here?”²
