Joseph Lenard is confirmed on the rolls as an Ordinary Seaman aboard the Culloden at the first three actions, and as Yeoman of Sheets aboard the frigate Naiad at Trafalgar. This frigate repeated Nelson’s famous signal to the fleet and after the battle was almost swamped after taking the Bellisle in tow.
