HMS Agamemnon, a 64-gun ship of the line was one of the most famous vessels of the Royal Navy.  She was commanded between 1793 and 1796 by Nelson.  For three of the most crucial decades of British naval history, Agamemnon was at the center of events, fighting at the Battle of the Saintes, the Battle of Copenhagen and, of course, Trafalgar, the summit of her career. Later she served in the West Indies, participating in the Battle of Santo Domingo, and then in South American waters, until she was wrecked in Maldonado Bay, off the coast of present-day Uruguay, in 1809, so bringing to an end a career of 28-year of constant active service.

Nelson, the legendary British navy commander, always referred to HMS Agamemnon as his favorite ship.
