THE MINIATURE MEDALS OF THE CAPTAIN OF HMS AFRICA. A miniature pair of medals mounted for wear, also GCB breast star awarded to Admiral Henry Digby then Captain of HMS Africa at Trafalgar. The small Naval Gold Medal and a NGS medal are mounted on a brooch bar, the bullion Breaststar is loose. HMS Africa a small 64 gun ship of the line was launched in 1771, considered in 1805 old and not capable of withstanding the enemy broadsides. A poor sailer she was off course and missed the night signal sent by Horatio Nelson, when separated from the British Fleet. Arriving from a different direction his plight was seen by Admiral Nelson. Captain Digby was a known fighter and at one time took 57 prizes in some 20 months. The signal for him to make all sail away from the action, was deliberately misinterpreted by Captain Digby, despite some 10 larger enemy ships of the line between his ship and the fleet. He sailed through the enemy lines of battle, engaging each individual enemy ship with broadsides. Arriving at the battle, he saw the Spanish Flagship Santissimia Trinidad apparently surrendering. Under Lt John Smith a party from Africa boarded the Flagships quarterdeck unmolested. Seeing that it had not struck their colours, the age of chivalry was shown to be not dead. They were allowed to leave unharmed and return to HMS Africa, whilst the fight continued.. Captain Digby then chased and engaged the Entrepide, in a ship to ship action lasting over 40 minutes. The Intrepide surrendered when the action was joined by HMS Orion. The action had left HMS Africa with 62 men dead or wounded, and most of her officers killed in the fighting. She was badly damaged and in need of emergency repairs. Very popular with his crew, he paid prize money out of his own monies, not waiting for the Court decisions. An ordinary seaman was awarded £182 each, for the capture of the treasure ship Santa Brigida. He received some £40,700 for his share of that prize. (A Spanish 34 gun Frigate). Inheriting Minterne Estate from his uncle, he died a full Admiral of the blue in 1842 (C in C the Nore), and is buried in St Andrews Church there.
