She was designed by Sir John Henslow as one of the large class 74s, and was the name ship of her class, the other being Шаблон:HMS.[1] As a large 74, she carried 24 pdrs on her upper gun deck, as opposed to the 18 pdrs found on the middling and common class 74s. She took part in the Battle of Trafalgar, and was broken up in 1826.[2][3]
Napoleonic Wars
On 27 August 1803 Colossus recaptured the East Indiaman Lord Nelson, which the French privateer Belone had captured two weeks before and which Шаблон:HMS had fought to the point of surrender.
Trafalgar
Colossus fought at Trafalgar under Captain James Nicoll Morris, in Collingwood's lee column. After sustaining fire from the enemy fleet, she eventually ran by the French Swiftsure, 74, and became entangled with Argonaute, 74. Towards the end of the exchange of fire between the two ships, Captain Morris was hit by a shot from one of Argonaute's guns, just above the knee. Argonaute broke free from Colossus after this, whilst the British ship was engaging both Swiftsure and the Spanish Bahama, 74, on her other side. Bahama surrendered when Colossus brought down her main mast, and Swiftsure did likewise after combined fire from Colossus and Шаблон:HMS brought down her main and mizzen masts.[3]
War of 1812
On 24 March 1812 Colossus in company with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS captured the Emilie.[4]
On 5 January 1813 Colossus, the frigate Шаблон:Ship and the brig Шаблон:HMS captured the American ship Dolphin.[5] A little over a month later, on 11 February, Rhin and Colossus captured the American ship Print.[6]
Fate
In 1815 Colossus was placed in ordinary at Chatham. She was eventually broken up in 1826.[2]
