@emtrixdk It's the original ship that saw action during Trafalgar in 1805. I don't think it will never sail again, it would probably cost a fortune to get her to the standard need, plus the threat that she could be lost
@emtrixdk its got 100 cannons, of course it fired, especially at trafalgar where we were outnumbered by the French & Spanish fleets, still kicked their arses without losing a single ship, shame Vice Admiral Viscount Nelson died a couple of days after due to wounds sustained in the fighting, he wasn't one to lead from the back, he sailed this beauty straight into the thick of it!!
@SOPARA862k That was just a battle ,all we got from that was a load of immigrants the french beat us in 1066 and taught us manners and how to be civilised thats why most of our military words are french.
Very nice ship!
