The HMS Allegiance was the dragon transport that carried Temeraire to China from late 1805 to mid-1806. The ship was originally assigned to Captain Cartwright when the Allegiance was scheduled to sail to Halifax, as another ship was being built for Cartwright there. When the destination changed to China, however, Cartwright could not go, as his new ship could not wait for him to return.
William Laurence suggested to Tom Riley that he seek the position. Riley was without a ship at the time because the HMS Reliant was dry-docked after suffering through the storm that occured just after the Battle of Trafalgar.
The Allegiance was a huge ship, over 400 feet long and oddly shaped because of the jutting dragon deck. It carried 150 guns.
