My Ships> HMS St GeorgeHMS St GeorgeMy flagship during the campaign in the Baltic, 1801. She was a 2nd rate battleship with 98 guns and launched at Portsmouth Royal Dockyard in 1785. The St George was present at Admiral Hotham's actions in 1795, where she flew the flag of Vice Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, and was commanded by my good friend Captain Thomas Foley, later my flag captain at Copenhagen. In 1801, she was my flagship for the entire campaign except for the Battle of Copenhagen itself, when I transferred to the Elephant, she being of shallower draught. She was later wrecked off the coast of Jutland in 1811. |
