Additional Details:
This most famous of sea-fighters, the sickly undersized son of a Norfolk parson, went to sea young and rapidly developed a fiery genius in action which has never been equalled. At St. Vincent (1797), Aboukir (1798), Copenhagen (1801), and Trafalgar (1805), he saved England from invasion and established the imperishable tradition of the "Nelson touch". Yet his heart was tender as a woman's; no other great leader of men has so definitely ruled by love rather than fear.
