The battle of Trafalgar was fought in 21st October, 1805 that set up British naval superlatives in Europe. The great historical fight of naval engagement in the Napoleonic Wars was taken place at west of Cape Trafalgar, Spain.
Pierre de Villeneuve (1763-1806) was the leader of 33 ships of Franco-Spanish fleet, and Horatio Nelson was the skipper of British fleet of 27 ships. When Villeneuve tried to sneak out of the surrounded port of Cadiz, Nelson caught him. When the French ships structured in a single line, British ships attacked them from two points. The famous signal was "England expects that every man will do his duty" and after signaled that Nelson smashed the center of the French line and in the headlong battle he captured Villeneuve with 20 ships.
No English ships were lost, but with this war Napoleon's plan to occupy England was disposed of.
