Battle of Trafalgar
The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement fought by the British Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies, during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1796–1815).
HMS Trafalgar (1887)
HMS "Trafalgar" was one of two "Trafalgar" class battleships commissioned in 1890 and 1891, the other being HMS "Nile". The ship was designed as an improved version of existing battleships with greater displacement and a thicker armoured belt amidships. "Trafalgar" saw active service as a battleship from 1890 to 1897 and from 1909 to 1911 when she was sold. Between these two periods as a combatant, "Trafalgar" served as a guardship and as a drill ship.
