Product Information

In addition, Britain and Spain had spent most of the year on the brink of war in what is now known as the Spanish Armaments Crisis.

Napoleon came up with a plan to attack a weak point in the defenses and isolate the harbour from the city. We sometimes make mistakes in our spelling, transcription or categorisation, or miss information out of our records.

Commodore Duckworth had been placed in command of a squadron which, in addition to HMS Leviathan, comprised HMS Centaur (74), the 44-gun two-deckers HMS Argo and HMS Dolphin, the 9pdr-armed 28 gun frigate HMS Aurora, the sixth rate post-ship HMS Cormorant (20) and Captain Digby's previous command, the 16 gun ship-sloop HMS Peterel.

After reducing the defenses between September and 16th December, the French Republican forces entered the city, forcing the British and their allies to evacuate or face capture. Both sides regarded the battle as a victory, the British because they had engaged and defeated a superior enemy force and the French because the convoy got through. Leviathan was recommissioned in 1909 for service with the 4th Cruiser Squadron before she was placed in reserve in 1913.They provide expert and detailed descriptions, disclose all significant defects and/or restorations, provide clear and accurate pricing, and operate with fairness and honesty during the purchase experience.
