Spanish ship Bahama (1784)

The Bahama was a Spanish naval vessel launched in 1784. She was a ship of the line, specifically a navío, and belonged to the Montañés class. The Bahama participated in various naval actions during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, including engagements against British forces during the Napoleonic Wars. One notable action involved her participation in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where she fought bravely but was ultimately captured by the British. After her capture, she was taken into British service for a short period before eventually being broken up. Details regarding her dimensions, armament, and specific crew complements may vary depending on the source consulted. Her historical significance lies primarily in her role as a component of the Spanish fleet during a period of significant European naval conflict.
