Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (29 September 1758 – 21 October 1805)[1][2] was an British sea captain in the Royal Navy.

Born at the rectory of the village of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk,[3][4] Nelson commanded the British fleet during the Napoleonic Wars, fighting the French and the Spanish. Nelson was blind in one eye after he had been wounded in battle.[5]

During the Battle of Trafalgar, his greatest victory, he was killed by a French sniper.
