On october 21st 1805, while aboard his famous ship HMS Victory, Lord Admiral Nelson received the signal `370' (Enemy ships are coming out of port.) which was repeated along the chain of ships until it reached the main British Fleet. Nelson then signalled back `General chase southeast' His plan was to steer to the straits of Gibraltar and prevent the Enemy combined fleet from sailing into the Mediterranean. At 12.15 the first shots were fired at the Victory, at long range. As fighting continued the three ships locked together and Redoubtable was pounded into submission. Slowly the British ships gained the upper hand as the enemy combined fleet struck their colours or sailed away from the battle. 13 to Collect View other product and find out more about Corgi Classics.
