Amphion off Ushant - John Christian

Lord Nelson departed for the Mediterranean, on 21st May 1803.

The victory was under orders to meet up with Cornwallis off Brest, but after 24 hours of searching failed to find him.   Therefore Lord Nelson, anxious to reach the Mediterranean without delay, decided to transfer to HMS Amphion off Ushant.
