Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805. Admiral Lord Nelson (1758-1805) on the deck of 'HMS Victory' during the battle where the British navy decisively defeated the Franco-Spanish fleet. One of Britain's greatest military figures, Nelson was the victor at a number of naval battles in the Napoleonic Wars, including the Battle of the Nile (1798), Copenhagen (1801) and most famously, Trafalgar (1805), where he was fatally wounded by a shot from a French sharpshooter.
