I looked it up and the real ship Santisima trinidad and the real H.M.S. Victory were in the same battle, the battle of Trafalgar ( I think that's how it's spelled ) which took place in 1805. In this battle the British Royal Navy sank the enitre French and Spanish fleets. I also looked up that the Santisima Trinidad sank AFTER the battle because it was wrecked. This battle foiled emperor Napoleon Boneparte's plans to invade England. Admiral Horatio Nelson, commander of the british fleet, died in the battle. The H.M.S. Victory has been maintained over the years and is still a part of the Royal Navy and is a popular attraction in Portsmouth, England. I know all this because i have always been interested in the 18th and 19th centuries and have studied it a ton, even though i am only ten years old.
