[QUOTE=Bligh;62750]HMS Royal Sovereign.



Royal Sovereign was a 100-gun first rateship of the line of the Royal Navy, which served as the flagship of AdmiralCollingwood at the Battle of Trafalgar. She was the third of seven Royal Navy ships to bear the name. Designed by Sir Edward Hunt, she was launched at Plymouth Dockyard[COLOR=#000000] on 11 September 1786, at a cost of £67,458, and was the only ship built to her draught. She was known by her crew as the "West Country Wagon" due to her poor maneuverability and speed.

Hey Rob, this first picture is the "Sovereign of the Seas", launched in 1637. She was later renamed Royal Sovereign, and was ahead of her time, but didn't make it to the 18th century.
