I was reading about George Miller Bligh yesterday, read where he served on HMS Victory at Trafalgar and was wounded and was in the cockpit when
Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson died. later on, in 1814 he was given command of the frigate HMS Araxes, a Leda/Cydnus class frigate.
I googled Araxas but couldn't find anything about the name, can someone please help me?
Thanks,
James

Must have Been Araxes, built in 1813, sold in 1817.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake!
After correcting the spelling I found out the Leda class frigate which bore the name HMS ARAXES was named for a river in Turkey.
