At the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805, Admiral Horatio Nelson solidified his legendary status in naval history. Leading the British fleet with unparalleled strategic brilliance, Nelson defied conventional tactics by dividing his forces into two columns and charging directly at the Franco-Spanish line. This bold maneuver shattered the enemy's formation, sowing chaos and confusion. Amid the fierce clash, Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, spearheaded the assault, its cannons roaring as it engaged multiple adversaries.
Despite being mortally wounded by a sniper, Nelson's leadership inspired his men to a decisive victory, crippling Napoleon's naval power and securing British dominance at sea for generations. Nelson's final signal, "England expects that every man will do his duty," remains an enduring symbol of courage and duty.
Join Keith as he takes you through the battle, and why he thinks particular battle was so important.
