The Lord Mayor presided on the eve of the 125th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar-at a meet- ing held at the Manalon Housato raise a fund for the purpose of saving the Implacable as a national monument and holiday training ship for boys.

The Lord Mayor said that no cause could be doarer to the hearts of all English-speaking poople than one which re-asserted the country's pride in the Royal Navy's gallant past and in the wonderful tradition of the sea which was our birth- right. To save the Implacable was such a cause.

at Trafalgar, and а later was brought to action by Sir Richard Strachan, and after a very gallant resistance, with her captain and 150 men killed and wounded, she was forced to surrender and was brought into Plymouth as prize. Refilted and commissioned as H.M.S. Implacable, she served in the Baltic campaign of 1808 and for many years in the Mediterranean. In 1862 she returned to Plymouth, to pay off, carrying a golden cock at her masthead in token of being adjudged the smartest ship la the Mediterranean Fleet. For a long time she formed part of the Lion Training Establishment for boys at Devonport, and in 1908, efter just a century of service in the Royal Navy, she was condemned to be sold. Mr. Cobb appealed to King Edward for her preservation, and a respite was given. Finally, no official funds being available for

Eventually he found the burden too much for one man to bear, and it was necessary, if the ship was to be preserved, to ask for the public's assistance.

After examination by Admiralty Burveyors it was reported that the ship was capable of restoration, and on Trafalgar Day, 1925, Lord Beatty issued an appeal for £25,000 to carry out repairs necessary to enable the Implacable to be used as a holiday training ship for ses cadets and other boys organisa- tions.
