21st of October 1805

The Santísima Trinidad was attacked by multiple British Ships, losing her masts in the process.

She was captured by Captain Thomas Freemantle of the 98 gun Second Rate HMS Neptune.

She was captured by the British in very poor condition, with over 200 dead and 100 wounded.

The British worked hard to save her and brought her to the British port of Gibraltar, towed by the frigate HMS Phoebe and HMS Naiades.

The Strongest Ship of the Armada Epañola was now taken as a Prize of War along with the other Ships in the Franco-Spanish Fleet.
