O Almirante Nelson morreu há 219 anos...

    
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronte (Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, 29 September 1758 – HMS Victory, off Cape Trafalgar, 21 October 1805) was a British flag officer in the Royal Navy. He was noted for his inspirational leadership, superb grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics, all of which resulted in a number of decisive naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was wounded several times in combat, losing one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the sight in one eye in Corsica. He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Nelson's death at Trafalgar secured his position as one of Britain's most heroic figures. The significance of the victory and his death during the battle led to his signal, "England expects that every man will do his duty", being regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced up to the modern day. Numerous monuments, including Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, and the Nelson Monument in Edinburgh, have been created in his memory and his legacy remains highly influential. The Hoste Hotel in Burnham Market, Norfolk, features a tribute museum to Lord Nelson and a room which was slept in by Lord Nelson.

A Batalha de Trafalgar foi uma batalha naval que ocorreu entre a França e Espanha contra o Reino Unido, em 21 de outubro de 1805, na era napoleónica, ao largo do cabo de Trafalgar, na costa espanhola. A esquadra franco-espanhola era comandada pelo almirante Villeneuve, enquanto que a britânica era comandada pelo almirante Nelson, para muitos o maior génio em estratégia naval que já existiu. A França queria invadir o Reino Unido pelo Canal da Mancha, mas antes tinha que se livrar do problema que era a marinha britânica.

A Batalha
A batalha progrediu em grande parte de acordo com o plano de Nelson. Às 11.45, Nelson enviou o famoso sinal de bandeira: England expects that every man will do his duty ("A Inglaterra espera que cada homem cumpra com o seu dever").
Tudo ocorreu perfeitamente para os ingleses, com vários barcos inimigos afundados ou capturados, graças à perícia dos marinheiros ingleses no manuseamento dos canhões. No entanto, Nelson morreu na batalha, atingido por uma bala de mosquete das velas de gávea do francês Redoutable que, no momento, varria o Victory de popa a proa. O navio de Nelson perdeu 57 homens, incluindo o próprio comandante, e teve 102 feridos. O Redoutable, em contraste, teve 22 de seus 64 canhões desmontados e, de uma tripulação de 643, houve 487 mortos e 81 feridos. Esse enorme índice de baixas francesas é um reflexo da eficácia da artilharia inglesa. Quem assumiu o comando da frota inglesa foi o vice-almirante Cuthbert Collingwood, do navio capitão Royal Sovereign. Após a batalha, uma tempestade alcançou a frota inglesa, que acabou por perder grande parte dos navios recém conquistados, já muito destroçados.

Consequências  
Napoleão perdeu o controle do Atlântico, e não pôde atacar a Inglaterra, na sua tão desejada Campanha de Bolonha. Nelson, por outro lado, tornou-se um dos maiores heróis ingleses de todos os tempos, morrendo na batalha. Pierre Villeneuve foi feito prisioneiro e levado para Inglaterra.
