List of Vessels at the Battle of Trafalgar
During the battle, the ships engaged carried varying amounts of
sail - depending on their position and intent. As both these factors altered
almost minute by minute, it is impossible to accurately portray a vessel
except at a specific point in time. Most of the British approached the
action carrying every scrap of canvas they could muster as the wind,
although from a favourable position, was light and variable. The French and
Spanish, by contrast, had reduced sail to await the enemy onslaught,
although later in the battle some of their leading ships increased sail to
turn about and get into the action. A compromise we have developed over the years is to depict most vessels some moments after battle had been joined, their courses furled and ready for action or already in action. Other vessels, such as the last in the British columns and the Franco/Spanish van could either be at the same sail set or a higher one. In the list below, the suggested sail setting Ref: ES1A
could be replaced with Ref: T&J (Topsail and Jib) to add some variety.
