"Horation Nelson was born on September 29, 1758 into a fairly poor but genteel family in the quiet backwaters of Norfolk. From his unassuming background he rose through the ranks of the British Navy, eventually becoming Admiral and a visount, and one of Britain's greatest heroes. His name is synonymous with warfare at sea, as he established himself as the greatest tactician of the waters. He was victorious at virtually every encounter, culminating in his victory over Admiral Villeneuve at the Battle of Trafalgar"--Container.
