Description:
HMS Temeraire was a 98-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 11 September 1798 at Chatham, which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. She was named after the French 74-gun ship taken at the Battle of Lagos (1759), following the British custom of naming new ships after old prizes. At Trafalgar under the command of Eliab Harvey, she was next astern to Victory. Temeraire was badly damaged as she fought to relieve Nelson’s flagship. During the battle, Temeraire helped force the surrender of the French ship Redoutable and captured the French ship Fougueux.
