71: The Battle of Trafalgar 1805
•
Chris Green
The Battle of Trafalgar is probably Britain's greatest naval victory. It was certainly the one that had the longest lasting impact on her position as a global power in the 19th century.
It was also the lasting legacy of her most famous naval commander, Admiral Lord Nelson.
At the height of the battle, Nelson was mortally wounded and died soon after hearing of the Royal Navy's success.
