The HMS Bellona was a 74-gun third-rate used in the Napoleonic wars and built at Chatham, launched in 1760. The Bellona was tasked to join the squadron blockading Brest during the Seven Years War. HMS Bellona was used on the Tagus River in Spain. The HMS Bellona engaged the French 74-gun ship Courageux in company with two frigates. The HMS Bellona eventually took on the Courageux. The frigates escaped, but the Courageux struck her colors, and was later re-fitted and used by the Royal Navy. In 1762 Bellona was paid off. She was used in the American Revolutionary War after she had been coppered. Until 1783 HMS Bellona served in the North Sea and the West Indies. In 1801 HMS Bellona served under Nelson in the Battle of Copenhagen. She also served in the North Sea and Bay of Biscay until 1814, when she paid off for the last time and broken up. Bellona, built in 1760, was one of the earliest and most successful British examples of a 74-gun ship. This book provides documentation of the ship through a complete set of line drawings, offering a novel insight into ship design and construction. An anatomy of the ship on one of the standard line-of-battle ships of the Royal Navy of the time of Trafalgar. A complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. A large-scale plan of the ship on the reverse of an extended fold-out jacket.
