HMS Agamemnon was a 64-gun ship of the line. For three of the most crucial decades of British naval history, the HMS 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 off the coast of present-day Uruguay, in 1809, so bringing to an end a career of 28-year of constant active service. 

In 1793, HMS Agamemnon came under command of Captain Horatio Nelson. Nelson sailed with Lord Howe’s Fleet in the blockade of Toulon and in the capture of the Corsican ports of Bastia and Calvi. Here, unfortunately, Nelson lost his right eye. Nelson was very fond of the Agamemnon and described her as “without exception the finest 64 in the service.”  He was the Captain of the HMS Agamemnon for 3 years and 3 months.
