HMS Temeraire was a formidable warship from the Age of Sail. She carried 98 cannons across three gun decks, had a crew size exceeding the population of some towns, and had a main mast that towered over all but the highest gothic cathedrals. By any measure, the ship was a true colossus. 

Capital ships like HMS Temeraire were dramatic demonstrations of naval power on the high seas. The only ships that outclassed the Temeraire, were those classed as “first rates”; those that carried 100 guns or more. Those ships however, were very rare. 

Completed and launched in 1798, HMS Temeraire served during the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars. She is most famous for the role she played at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. As one of the most powerful vessels in the British Royal Navy, HMS Temeraire was one of the lead ships that led the British fleet, under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson and Vice Admiral Collingwood, to engage the combined French and Spanish fleets off Cape Trafalgar. Once within cannon range, HMS Temeraire sailed directly into the most intense and chaotic cluster of the battle; with all of her cannons double loaded! HMS Temeraire simultaneously took on and fought the French ships “Redoubtable” (74 guns), and “Fougueux” (74 guns); devastating both ships with massive broadsides. At one point, Temeraire became entangled with several other ships, both friend and foe. She tirelessly unleashed devastating cannon fire at point blank range. Her ferocity during the battle earned her the nickname, “The Fighting Temeraire”. 

Following the battle, HMS Temeraire suffered heavy damage, and was retired from service in 1812. She was later dismantled and broken up for scrap in 1838.

This drawing is nowhere near finished, but whether or not I add colored pencil will determine how I will finish it and the order of details I add.

HMS Bellerophon was a battleship of the line in the British Royal Navy. Completed in 1786, she carried 74 guns on two main gun decks and was classed as a third rate. During the Age of Sail, the third rate was a warship carrying 64 to 80 guns on two full gun decks, and a crew of between 500 and 700 men. The “74” was the backbone of most European navies at the time. It was a compromise between seaworthiness and firepower, which were two important traits in naval engagements. HMS Bellerophon participated in several major fleet actions during the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars. She fought at the Glorious First of June under Admiral Richard Howe against the French in 1794 during the War of the First Coalition (1792-1797). She then served under Horatio Nelson, when he attacked the French fleet at Aboukir Bay in 1798, at the Battle of the Nile. At the Battle of the Nile, HMS Bellerophon took heavy damage when she engaged the 120 gun French flagship, L’Orient. She then fought under Nelson again during the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805; an overwhelming victory that showcased Britain’s naval power.
