The Temeraire was a French ship captured and converted to English use. She distinguished herself in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 by coming to the rescue of Nelson's flagship Victory and capturing two 75-gun French ships of the line, although Nelson had been mortally wounded before her arrival. After this battle she was dubbed "The Fighting Temeraire".  In 1838, rendered obsolete by age, changes in ship design and the onset of steam, she was consigned to the breaker's yard.  Turner painted his famous picture  as she was towed away by a steam tug against the sunset.
