Agamemnon (1811 ship)

The Agamemnon was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1811 from Woolwich Dockyard. She was named after the mythical Greek king Agamemnon.

The Agamemnon saw service during the Napoleonic Wars, though her launch came relatively late in the conflict. She participated in various fleet actions and blockades, contributing to the Royal Navy's dominance at sea. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, she continued in active service during peacetime, primarily in the Mediterranean.

Details regarding her specific actions and engagements can be found in Royal Navy records and historical accounts of naval warfare during the early 19th century. The vessel was eventually removed from active service, and details of her ultimate fate, whether she was broken up or repurposed, can be verified in naval archives. Her design would have been typical of a third-rate ship of the line for the period, a class that formed the backbone of the British fleet and was considered a versatile and powerful warship.
