This image is of HMS Foudroyant, an 80 gun ship of the line commissioned in 1798.
in 1799 Thomas Hardy took command of the ship and Lord Nelson hoisted his flag in her. She was then involved in the efforts to return the Neapolitan royal family to Naples. After the Napoleonic wars she served as Plymouth guard ship until about 1862, when she became a gunnery traing vessel. In the 1890's she was sold and in private hands was to become a training ship.
To help with costs she was exhibited at various seaside resorts. In 1897, whilst at Blackpool, her cable parted in a storm and she was driven ashore. They were unable to refloat her and she broke up in December storms.
