Right. I want a name for this one. And to be kind I shall give the clue of Lord Nelson.


Happy hunting.

That would be too easy. Remember the round ironclad I found for the last guess the battleship? This quiz was never that simple.

Right. I shall give another clue. It's a napoleonic line-of-battle ship that survived long enough for someone to take that photo.

Well she looks a bit like HMS Temeraire, but i'm not sure how long that ship survived.

Sometime between when photographs were invented and 1897 when she was wrecked off Blackpool. 1880's or 90's I should imagine.

Same era. The difference however lies in that the ship in Master and Commander was a 38 gun frigate, and that is a 74 gun line of battle ship.
