HMS Leviathan (1790)

HMS Leviathan was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 9 October 1790. At the Battle of Trafalgar under Henry William Bayntun, she was near the front of the windward column led by Admiral Lord Nelson aboard his flagship, HMS Victory, and captured the Spanish ship San Augustin.

Leviathan, HMS Pompee (1793), HMS Anson (1781), HMS Melpomene (1794), and HMS Childers (1778) shared in the proceeds of the capture on 10 September of the Tordenshiold.

Fate
In 1816, after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, she was converted into a prison ship and in 1848 was sold and broken up.
