Default Trafalgar Day

October 21 marks the 202nd Anniversary of the Victory over the combined French
and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar by by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson
on October 21, 1805.

Listen for possible mentions of the Anniversary of the battle by the BBC.

I was fortunate enough to sail through the waters where the battle took place
whilst serving in the US Navy, and have always considered Admiral Lord Nelson
one of my heroes.

Lord Nelson died late in the battle.
