victory at this battle ended Napoleons bid for mastery of the sea, but cost
Admiral Nelson his life. She had previously taken part in many other major
actions against the Spanish and French fleets, and is now the oldest serving
Royal Naval ship stil in service, being the flagship of the Portsmouth
Command. After being restored to the same condition and appearance as she
was at Trafalgar, she can now be seen in all her glory at her home in
Portsmouth by visitors from all over the world.
