In my mock O Level I surmised that Nelson had learnt about breaking the line from Rodney and earned the wrath of my history teacher for drifting into the realms of historical fiction in the absence of evidential sources. Ouch but life lesson learnt by the 15 year old me.
I used to be really in to this period of history some 20 years back. I would be tempted to reread the books I bought back then. I can’t though as they’re in storage!

Great. Just read about this last night. For my sins I hadn’t really known about it and wanted to learn more. Thanks for my new evening reading!
