Some brief history of the Montañés (Wikipedia):

Montañés (class) was a 74 gun third-rate Spanish ship of the line.
Design was prepared by Julián Martín de Retamosa ,Following José Romero y Fernández de Landa's system under which the San Ildefonso class had been built.
Ordered in November 1792
Launched in November 1794
She was much faster than other ships of the same era, reaching 14 knots downwind and 10 knots upwind.
In 1795 she fought a French force of 8 ships of the line (including one three-decker) and 2 frigates single-handed in the bay of San Feliu de Guíxols - thanks to her superior speed, the Montañés managed to get within range of a coastal artillery battery, forcing the French to break off the chase.In June 1805 she was put under the command of Captain Francisco de Alcedo and made part of Alcalá Galdiano's division, defending Cadiz from a possible British attack. At the Battle of Trafalgar she was assigned to the second division of Gravina's squadron. the ship lost only 20 dead including the capitan and his deputy, and 29 wounded in the battle. And was able to recapture the Santa Ana and Neptuno after their capture by the British.
commanded by José QuevedoThe Montañés took part in the capture of the Rosily Squadron at Cadiz. She also made several voyages to the Canary Islands, Balearics and Havana before being lost in a heavy storm on 10 March 1810.
