More about this scene
HMS' St Vincent' (120 guns) was completed in 1815, but too late to take an active part in the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, she was not commissioned until 1831, when she was sent to the Mediterranean as Flagship. There followed spells as Flagship, Portsmouth; Guardship in Ordinary at Portsmouth; and as a naval transport during the Crimean War. In 1862 she became a boys' training ship, a role she fulfilled until 1906 when she was sent for breaking up.
