HMS Trafalgar
This lithograph shows 120-gun HMS ‘Trafalgar’ (launched 1841) after she had been cut down from a three-decker to a two-decker in 1859. HMS ‘Trafalgar’ appears to have had a bust of Nelson wearing a hat when first launched as a three decker (cf. PAH0913) that may have been changed to a bust without a hat when she was cut down, as shown in this lithograph. As training ship at Portland, she was renamed HMS 'Boscawen' in 1873, and finally sold out of the service in 1906 [with thanks to David Pulvertaft for his assistance].
