Correction to the vessel being towed

[edit]

"Nelson's Battles: The Triumph of British Seapower" By Nicolas Tracy states that the ship being towed is the Vanguard and not the Agamemnom as subtitled.

The picture is inaccurate in as much as, the weather and sea was calm at the time, but had a swell, and not as pictured.
