Trafalgar - the most famous naval battle involving HMS Victory - ships of the Franco-Spanish fleet sailed north in line formation. Around noon on October 21, 1805, at the height of Cape Trafalgar, British Admiral Horatio Nelson attacked the enemy with two columns sailing across the enemy formation. Such a battle plan was designed to cut off the strongest ships of the enemy, which was outnumbered, and crack down on the rest. The right column, numbering 15 ships under the command of C. Collingwood on the Royal Sovereign, was to cut off the rearguard, while the left, a 12-ship column under Nelson's command on the Victory, was to cut off the center. While carrying out this maneuver, the French and Spanish kept firing at the approaching British ships, wreaking havoc. Due to the low wind, the British columns sailed slowly, unable to respond with fire for almost an hour. Victory was still under fire At 12:45 Victory cut the enemy line between the ships Bucentaure and Redoutable. As the two fleets approached, small arms fire was exchanged. French gunners from the ship Redoutable were glaring at the English from above the rigging. The commander of the British fleet, distinguished as usual by his attire, was an easy target for them. At 1:15 pm, a French sailor fatally shot him in the spine. The admiral had himself carried below deck so the crew wouldn't see it. He died at 16:30, but the battle was won. Thanks to high morale and the tactics employed, Nelson won his last victory. The Allies lost 22 ships, about 3,250 killed, about 2,500 wounded and about 7,000 taken prisoner. British sailors were killed 449.The battle marked the beginning of the great hegemony of the British in the seas of the world, making a major contribution to the establishment of the British colonial empire. Subsequently, the ship underwent an overhaul.
