Check out the different nationalities that crewed HMS Victory at Trafalgar.

Women are on the roster as well.

For Nelson's death, most paintings include Black seamen.

Having read the link, it seems that it refers to the Navy of the State of Victoria, in Australia, rather than the "Victorian" Navy, in terms of era.

And here I thought that the 'black men' referred to the fact that the enginemen were always covered in coal dust and/or lube oil!
