Santisima Trinidad (ship)

The Santísima Trinidad was a Spanish warship built in the 1760s, notable for being one of the largest wooden ships of its time. It served as a flagship in the Spanish navy and was heavily armed, playing a key role in various naval battles, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. The ship was famous for its significant size and firepower, but it met its end during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where it was captured by the British. The Santísima Trinidad symbolizes the era of grand naval warfare and the evolution of ship design in the Age of Sail.
