HMS Agamemnon
We know that HMS Agamemnon is remembered as Nelson's favourite ship, built at Buckler's Hard.
She sank after she had put into Maldonado Bay for the third and final time, to shelter from a storm. In 1993 her wreck was located north of Gorriti Island in Maldonado Bay. Expeditions led by Mensun Bound have documented the remains and recovered a number of artefacts, including a seal bearing the name 'Nelson,' and one of Agamemnon's 24-pounder guns from her main gundeck.
Dr Atilio Nasti, director of that archeological project wrote a short paper on that.
Here is to a brave lady serving at Trafalgar and to the ship on which Jack Aubrey served as lieutenant before we meet him in Master and Commander
