HMS Agamemnon model ship
Lord Nelson's favorite



 

 

HMS Agamemnon, a 64-gun ship of the line was one of the most famous vessels of the Royal Navy. 

For three of the most crucial decades of British naval history, Agamemnon was at the center of events, fighting at the Battle of the Saintes, the Battle of Copenhagen and, of course, Trafalgar, the summit of her career. Later she served in the West Indies, participating in the Battle of Santo Domingo, and then in South American waters, until she was wrecked in Maldonado Bay, off the coast of present-day Uruguay, in 1809, so bringing to an end a career of 28-year of constant active service.

Nelson, the legendary British navy legend who commanded the HMS Agamemnon between 1793 and 1796, always referred to HMS Agamemnon as his favorite ship.

The ship is truly beautiful.  Gave it to Dad for Father's Day.  He's enamored by it.  Your ships are the best and arrive in perfect condition.  
 
I would love to get HMS Victory from you, but understand from previous correspondence that it is not always available.  Would you let me know when you have one to sell?  I have a spot already picked out.  (And P.S. the illumination feature is really cool.).

Be aware of a very wrong Agamemnon model built in Asia.  It has shiny cannons, checked-pattern deck, oversized rigging thread, very wrong figurehead, only one boat which is oversized, no Agamemnon name on stern gallery, and no copper-plated bottom...
