Today (21st October) in 1805, Admiral Lord Nelson was victorious at the Battle of Trafalgar.
His flagship was HMS Victory, a 1st rate ship with 104 cannons.
There were 27 British ships against 33 French and Spanish ships. Nelson was a bit of a rebel and used unconventional battle tactics, which proved to be very successful.
He was victorious at Trafalgar, but paid the ultimate price. He lived just long enough to be told by Captain Hardy that they had won the battle.
