Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Polyphemus Wood, Darwen One of the 33 new areas of woodland which the Woodland Trust is planting to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. All 33 new woodlands will be named after a ship in Nelson's fleet. Polyphemus was built at Sheerness and launched in 1782, being smaller and more lightly armed than the majority of British ships present at Trafalgar on the 21st October, the ship did justice in the battle, she came to the relief of the beleaguered Belleisle and moved between her and the French Neptune (84 guns). She next engaged the French Achille (74 guns) until an officer was seen waving a Union Jack from the bow to signify surrender, and helped to tow HMS Victory to Gibraltar after the battle. http://www.treeforall.org.uk/trafalgar/TrafalgarWoods/Otherwoods/Polyphemus/ http://www.treeforall.org.uk/trafalgar/AboutTheProject/LatestNews/Polyphemus.htm |
