Port Mahon — Menorca

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A Mediterranean strait. Not a harbour plan and not a likeness.

Overview

The death-place is already on Collingwood Cuthbert — Biography. He died of stomach cancer aboard HMS Ville de Paris off Port Mahon on 7 March 1810, within hours of putting to sea.¹

The Death-Place

This note covers that death-place only. A harbour plan, a garrison, and a later memorial stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

HMS Ville de Paris — Collingwood Death Ship is the death-ship isolate. Do not invent a rate. The same Collingwood note already records burial in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral — London beside Nelson. That burial stays there. A coffin originally prepared for Cardinal Wolsey stays on the Collingwood note.²
