  1. Nelson himself, as Vice-Admiral of the White Squadron, led the Weather Division of the fleet in H.M.S. “Victory” whilst Collingwood, as Vice-Admiral of the Blue, led the Leeward Division in his flagship “Royal Sovereign”. As the fleets closed for action, “Royal Sovereign” drew ahead and broke the enemy line just after noon, almost half-an-hour before “Victory” was able to do so. As this extremely unusual view from astern of the fleet shows only too clearly, both British columns were subjected to volley after volley of enemy fire before either of them could get into positions from where they could reply.

  2. The Battle of Trafalgar was a naval engagement fought by the British Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies during the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). As part of an overall French plan to combine all French and allied fleets to take control of the English Channel and thus enable Napoleon's Grande Armée to invade England, French and Spanish fleets under French Admiral Villeneuve sailed from the port of Cádiz in the south of Spain in October 1805. They encountered the British fleet under Admiral Lord Nelson, recently assembled to meet this threat, in the Atlantic Ocean along the southwest coast of Spain, off Cape Trafalgar. Villeneuve was uncertain about engaging the British, and the Franco-Spanish fleet failed to organize fully. In contrast, Nelson was decisive, directing the British fleet into two columns sailing straight into the enemy to pierce its wavering lines. Website: navygamingamerica.enjin.com
