Fate
On 21 October 1805, Berwick fought at the Battle of Trafalgar, where Achille re-captured her. Berwick sank near SanlĂșcar in the tempest the following day after her French prisoners cut her cables. Although Donegal was nearby and quickly sent boats, many aboard Berwick lost their lives (c.200 persons).
