Cape Trafalgar
The damage suffered by the "Africa" was highlighted in March 2006 when the BBC television programme "Antiques Roadshow" examined a book that was extensively damaged by a cannonball. Digby's inscription inside read "... this book was shivered in this manner by a whole shot, knocking to pieces the bookcase ... off Cape Trafalgar on 21 October 1805 ... on board the 'Africa' (64 guns)." signed Henry Digby.
