Know More About The Spanish Ship Santisima Trinidad

Santisima Trinidad (officially Nuestra Señora de la Santisima Trinidad) was a Spanish ship of 120 guns, extended to 140 later. It was the largest ship of its time, so it received the nickname of El Escorial de Los Mares and was one of the few line ships of four bridges that existed.

Despite this, it was not very effective because of its clumsiness and slow navigation. He is remembered for his tragic end at the Battle of Trafalgar (October 21, 1805). It was on that occasion under the orders of the squad leader Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, and Francisco Javier de Uriarte y Borja as flag captain.

After a hard fight was captured by the English in awful conditions, with more than 200 dead and 100 injured. The English made every effort to save it and take it to Gibraltar's English port, being towed by the frigates HMS Naiad and HMS Phoebe. However, it would finally sink October 24, some 25 or 28 miles south of Cádiz.

Symbol of the end of Spanish power in the seas, the greatest war weapon of its time now remains at the sea's bottom. His artillery pieces were extracted and installed at the entrance of the Pantheon of Maritime Illustres located in the School of Suboficiales of the Navy, in San Fernando (Cádiz).
