 Dr. Taylor, a  former curator of pictures at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, will talk about Admiral Lord Nelson, best known for his victory at the Battle of the Trafalgar in 1805.

Nelson was a charismatic and complex character who met his death on HMS Victory on 21st October 1805, at the age of 47. His victories, naval tactics and great courage caught the public imagination of his time, and he was considered a hero. He was beloved by his men afloat but lampooned ashore for his relationship with Lady Emma Hamilton.
