England expects every man to do his duty'. Nelson's celebrated signal opened the Battle of Trafalgar, the most famous engagement of the age of sail. Tragically, he would not live to enjoy his crowning glory. Cut down by a French sniper at the very moment of triumph his greatest victory was also destined to be his memorial, for his fleet ended forever the Emperor Napoleon's dream of an invasion of England. Narrated by Robert Powell

My dad gave me an 1805 English newspaper to take to school about 1955 with the Battle of Trafalgar the front page story.

The use of the 2nd movement of Brahms violin concerto as background music is touching

One of the potentially confusing things about this battle is the presence of the Neptune (74), le Neptune (74), and el Neptuno (80).

Nelson's mother should have said if you carry on like that someone will lose an eye more often when he was a kid.

Tell the story. People need to know how good we got it here in the 21st Century. I would disregard the opinions of the weak. Tell the story.

ENGLAND EXPECTS. But something you very rarely hear is that a quarter of Nelson's men (who can be identified) were Irish, according to the UK’s National Maritime Museum and the UK National Archives. Nelson’s fleet consisted of 33 ships with approximately 18,000 men, of whom records survive for about 12,000, of whom 3,573 sailors came from Ireland including 893 from Dublin, 632 from Cork, 187 from Waterford, 154 from Limerick, 116 from Wexford and 112 from Antrim.

Not sure who that guy is who’s supposed to be Napoleon, but he looks nothing like Joaquin Phoenix.
