A dismasted three-decker5
The flagship represented in this dramatic study in uncertain. Despite temptation to think it might be 'Victory' at Trafalgar the open stern galleries and lack of a foremast vice-admiral's flag probably rule this out. If the flag on the falling mast is on the mizzen it would be a rear-admiral's command, if on the main an admiral's.
