San Josef (captured 1797)
San Josef was captured by Nelson at the Battle of Cape St Vincent in February 1797. This occasion became known as 'Nelson's Patent Bridge for Boarding First-rates' as he captured San Josef from the deck of another captured Spanish vessel, San Nicholas.
San Josef was refitted in 1801 at Plymouth as the only prize first-rate to serve in the Royal Navey. Due to her glorious capture and size - 114 guns - the ship merited a full colour plan, ususual for this era of Admiralty draughts.
