Summary
| Description |
Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood, (1748-1810) is chiefly remembered for his service to his country during the Napoleonic War. In the words of the plaque on the monument: This monument was erected in 1845 by Public Subscription to the memory of Admiral Lord Collingwood who in the “Royal Sovereign” on the 21st October 1805, led the British Fleet into action at Trafalgar and sustained the Sea Fight for upwards of an hour before the other ships were within gunshot, which caused Nelson to exclaim: “See how that noble fellow Collingwood takes a ship into action”. He was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne 1748 and died in the Service of his country, on board of the “Ville de Paris” on 7th March 1810 and was buried in St Paul’s Cathedral. The four guns upon this monument belonged to his ship the “Royal Sovereign”. The monument is situated on the Spanish Battery, the headland that dominates the mouth of the River Tyne near Tynemouth. |
