THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle.
INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL
On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.
Royal Sovereign was first in action and received fire before breaking through the middle of the enemy line astern of the seventeenth ship, Santa Ana. Shortly afterwards Victory also broke through, passing astern of the twelfth ship, Bucentaure.
The leading eight ships in the enemy line were cut off from the action which soon left all three principle flagships without masts and rigging.
The British fleet of twenty seven sail of the line and six smaller vessels was crewed by over 18,000: 1,112 were Devonian by birth: -

When Vice Admiral Lord Nelson was mortally wounded command of the fleet passed to Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood who, when the battle was over, drafted the following report.
To William Marsden, Esq, Admiralty.
Euryalus, off Cape Trafalgar,
October 22nd, 1805
Sir,
The ever to be lamented death of Vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, who in the late conflict with the enemy fell in the hour
of victory, leaves to me the duty of informing my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that, on the 19th instant, it was
communicated to the Commander-in-Chief, from the ships watching the motions of the enemy in Cadiz, that the combined fleet
had put to sea; as they sailed with light winds Westerly, his Lordship concluded their destination was the Mediterranean and
immediately made all sail for the Streights' entrance with the British squadron consisting of twenty-seven ships, three of them
sixty-fours, where his Lordship was informed by Captain Blackwood (whose vigilance in watching and giving notice of the
enemy's movements has been highly meritorious) that they had not yet passed the Streights.
On Monday the 21st instant, at daylight when Cape Trafalgar bore E. by S. about seven leagues, the enemy was
discovered six or seven miles to the Eastward, the wind about West and very light. The Commander-in-Chief immediately
made the signal for the fleet to bear up in two columns as they are formed in order of sailing; a mode of attack his Lordship
had previously directed to avoid the inconvenience and delay in forming a line of battle in the usual manner. The enemy's line
consisted of thirty-three ships (of which eighteen were French and fifteen Spanish) commanded in chief by Admiral
Villeneuve; the Spaniards under the direction of Gravina, wore, with their heads to the Northward and formed their line of
battle with great closeness and correctness but, as the mode of attack was unusual, so the structure of their line was new; it
formed a crescent convexing to leeward so that in leading down to their centre I had both their van and rear abaft the beam.
Before the fire opened every alternate ship was about a cable's length to windward of her second ahead and astern forming a
kind of double line and appeared, when on their beam, to leave a very little interval between them and this without crowding
their ships. Admiral Villeneuve was in the Bucentaure in the centre and the Prince of Asturias bore Gravina's flag in the rear
but the French and Spanish ships were mixed without any regard to order of National squadron.
As the mode of our attack had been previously determined on and communicated to the Flag Officers and Captain,
few signals were necessary and none were made except to direct close order as the lines bore down.
The Commander-in-Chief in the Victory led the weather column and the Royal Sovereign, which bore my flag, the lee.
The action began at twelve o'clock by the leading ships of the columns breaking through the enemy's line, the
Commander-in-Chief about the 10th ship from the van, the Second in Command about the 12th from the rear, leaving the van
of the enemy unoccupied; the succeeding ships breaking through in all parts astern of their leaders and engaging the enemy
at the muzzles of their guns. The conflict was severe, the enemy's ships were fought with a gallantry highly honourable to
their Officers, but the attack on them was irresistible and it pleased the Almighty Disposer of events to grant His Majesty's
arms a complete and glorious victory. About 3 pm, many of the enemy's ships having struck their colours, their line gave
way; Admiral Gravina, with ten ships joining their frigates to leeward, stood towards Cadiz. The five headmost ships in their
van tacked and, standing to the Southward to windward of the British line, were engaged, and the sternmost of them taken;
the others went off, leaving to His Majesty's squadron nineteen ships of the line (of which two are first-rates, the Santissima
Trinidad and the Santa Anna) with three Flag Officers, viz., Admiral Villeneuve, the Commander- in-Chief, Don Ignatio
Maria D'Aliva, Vice-Admiral; and the Spanish Rear-Admiral, Don Baltazar Hidalgo Cisneros.
After such a victory it may appear unnecessary to enter into encomiums on the particular parts taken by the several
commanders; the conclusion says more on the subject than I have language to express; the spirit which animated all was the
same; when all exert themselves zealously in their country's service, all deserve that their high merits should stand recorded
and never was high merit more conspicuous than in the battle I have described.
The Achille (a French 74), after having surrendered, by some mismanagement of the Frenchmen took fire and blew
up; two hundred of her men were saved by the Tenders.
A circumstance occurred during the action, which so strongly marks the invincible spirit of British seamen when
engaging the enemies of their country that I cannot resist the pleasure I have in making it known to their Lordships. The
Témeraire was boarded, by accident or design, by a French ship on one side and a Spaniard on the other; the contest was
vigorous but in the end the combined ensigns were torn from the poop and the British hoisted in their places.
Such a battle could not be fought without sustaining a great loss of men. I have not only to lament, in common with
the British Navy and the British Nation, in the fall of the Commander-in-Chief, the loss of a hero whose name will be
immortal and his memory ever dear to his Country; but my heart is rent with the most poignant grief for the death of a friend
to whom, by many years' intimacy and a perfect knowledge of the virtues of his mind which inspired ideas superior to the
common race of men, I was bound by the strongest ties of affection: a grief to which even the glorious occasion in which he
fell does not bring the consolation which perhaps it ought. His Lordship received a musket ball in his left breast about the
middle of the action and sent an Officer to me immediately with his last farewell and soon after expired.
I have also to lament the loss of those excellent Officers, Captains Duff of the Mars and Cooke of the Bellerophon: I
have yet heard of none others.
I fear the numbers that have fallen will be found very great when the returns come to me but, it having blown a gale of
wind ever since the action, I have not yet had it in my power to collect any reports from the ships and when their Lordships
consider that I have 23 infirm ships, 18 of them hulks without a stick standing and scarce a boat in the fleet, I am sure that
they will have due consideration for the slowness with which all
that kind of duty must necessarily be done, but as I feel the great
importance of those reports to the public and to individuals, they may trust that I will leave nothing undone to obtain them
speedily.
The Royal Sovereign having lost her masts except the tottering foremast, I called the Euryalus to me while the action
continued, which ship lying within hail, made my signals; a service Captain Blackwood performed with great attention. After
the action I shifted my flag to her that I might more easily communicate my orders to, and collect the ships and towed the
Royal Sovereign out to seaward. The whole fleet was now in a very perilous situation, many dismasted, all shattered, in
thirteen fathoms water, off the shoals of Trafalgar and when I made the signal to prepare to anchor, few of the Ships had an
anchor to let go, their cables being shot. But the same good Providence which aided us through such a day preserved us in
the night by the wind shifting a few points and drifting the ships off the land, except four of the captured dismasted ships
which are now at anchor off Trafalgar and I hope will ride safe until those gales are over.
Having thus detailed the proceedings of the fleet on this occasion, I beg to congratulate their Lordships on a victory
which I hope will add a ray to the glory of His Majesty's crown and be attended with public benefit to our country.
I am, Sir
Your most obedient humble Servant
Cuthbert Collingwood
