H.M.S. Euryalus, a 36-gun frigate, was commanded at Trafalgar by the Hon. H. Blackwood, who would become a highly successful frigate Captain. At the Battle she was on Victory’s larboard quarter, repeating Nelson’s signals. Whilst not directly involved in the fighting, she was nonetheless fired upon and received some damage. After Nelson’s death, Collingwood shifted his flag to her at about 6.00 p.m. In the subsequent American War, Euryalus took part in the destruction of Fort Washington and the capture of Alexandria in 1812.
