HMS Waterloo (1818)

HMS Waterloo (1818)

HMS "Waterloo" was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line, launched on 16 October 1818 at Portsmouth. She was designed by Henry Peake, and was the only ship built to her draught. She had originally been ordered as HMS "Talavera", but was renamed on the stocks after the Battle of Waterloo.

In 1824 "Waterloo" was renamed HMS "Bellerophon". She was placed on harbour service in 1848, and was sold in 1892.
