HMS AGAMEMNON bombarding a Mediterranean fortifications, from a painting by Geoff Hunt. I am at mid-point reading the book, "Nelson's Favourite, HMS AGAMEMNON at War- 1781-1809", written by Anthony Deane, the direct decendent of Sir Anthony Dean, the 17th century ship architect for King Charles II. This book is a narrative of the 28 year career of the 64 gun ship of the line, HMS AGAMEMNON commanded between 1793 to 1796 by Nelson, who always refered to her as his favorite ship. AGAMEMNON fought in almost all of the major sea battles of the late 18th century, the Napoleonic Wars, of course Trafalgar, the West Indies, until wrecked at Maldonado Bay, Uruguary in 1809.
Is there a kit ship of this famous warship available to serious ship modelers ? Inquiring minds want to know.
Happy modeling Crackers
