Today 21st October is Trafalgar Day, one of the most important days in the calendar of Royal Navy and HMS Victory, the oldest commissioned warship in the world. This battle defined the Age of Sail and sealed British dominion of the seas for a hundred years.

Britain’s wealth, prosperity and status as a nation on the world stage still owe much to the courage and skill of the crews of the British ships and their great leader, Admiral Lord Nelson, that momentous day off Cape Trafalgar.
