HMS Euryalus — Frigate

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. The gale after Trafalgar. Not a named-ship portrait and not a likeness.

Overview

The flag-shift and tow are already on Collingwood Cuthbert — Biography and HMS Royal Sovereign — Overview. After Trafalgar, the dismasted Royal Sovereign was towed off by the frigate HMS Euryalus, to which Collingwood transferred his flag on Nelson’s death.¹

The Flag-Shift and Tow

This note covers that flag-shift and that tow only. A gun-count and a rate number stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. The filled notes name her as a frigate; they do not fill a rate.

The post-battle gale is on Storm After Trafalgar — 24–29 October 1805. The lee-column flagship stays on the Sovereign note. Rotheram Edward — Captain HMS Royal Sovereign is the flag-captain isolate.²
