Henry Prior and Trafalgar

I have done some research on the Battle of Trafalgar and discovered that my great-great-great uncle Henry Prior was master's mate on HMS Belleisle at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Wikipedia tells me that

HMS Belleisle was the second ship in the British lee column at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and as such was engaged by the Franco-Spanish ships Achille, Aigle,Neptune, Fougueux, Santa Ana, Monarca and San Juan Nepomuceno.. She was soon completely dismasted (the only British ship which suffered that fate), unable to manœuvre and largely unable to fight, as her sails blinded her batteries, but kept flying her flag for 45 minutes until the British ships behind her in the column came to her rescue. With 33 dead and 93 wounded, she was then towed to Gibraltar after the battle by the frigate HMS Naiad.

Yesterday I was reading the novel Moontide by E.V. Thompson and came across the following:
Toby Lovell said to the sad-eyed woman "You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband, ma'am. On what ship was he serving in Nelson's fleet?"
"Thank you for your kind commiseration, sir. My husband was the commander of the Belleisle."
"The Belleisle!" Toby repeated the name of the ship with an almost reverent respect. "I trust you will one day allow pride to ease the pain you are feeling right now, ma'am. The Belleisle fought a magnificent battle. To watch her follow Admiral Collingwood into action, taking on and defeating ship after ship, was sheer joy. It gave added incentive to every sailor in Nelson's fleet to fight just that little bit harder than the enemy. It's such examples that win battles - and ultimately the war too, I hope."
"You were at Trafalgar, Curate Lovell?" Reverend Trist voiced his surprise.
"Yes, sir. I was chaplain on a frigate. The wounds I received there forced me to leave the service and take the post of curate here."
Sally murmured sympathetically before asking, eagerly, "You actually saw the Belleisle go into action, Mr Lovell?"
"I did. We were at the end of the line and saw every detail of the battle before we too engaged the enemy. When we saw her run aboard the Fougueux there was a cheer from our crew such as I had never heard before. There was no ship in the fleet fought more bravely, you have my word for it."
