VOYAGE OF IMPLACABLE
TRAFALGAR RELIC AT PORTSMOUTH PORTSMOUTH, July 26. Another memorable occasion in Portsmouth naval history was provided when the famous two-decker Implacable, which as the Duguay Trouin fought the Victory at Trafalgar, entered the harbour, having been towed from Falmouth on her last voyage. For the first time for 124 years—the last occasion being in the Baltic in 1808—the Implacable, the sole survivor afloat of the famous battle, passed the Victory. As she did so her eld adversary had a guard of marines mounted and the ship’s company manned ship. The bugles blew a salute, and the ensign was dipped. The Implacable will take up her moorings near the hardway and close to the Victory as a holiday training ship for Cadets, Sea Scouts, and Boys’ Brigades. Proudly flying a magnificent red ensign, she entered harbour manned by 200 Sea Scouts, sons of local naval men, and was received with the stately naval honours accorded to a man o’ war.
