The center of Steven Dews

Animals fighting in the wild The center of Steven Dews' wonderful painting is the minute at which Victory (focus) flanked by the Temeraire (far right), got through the adversary lines, managing and trading a serious beating as she passed Villeneuve's French leader Bucentaure (left), indicated cruising good and gone. This was just before a flintlock shot from Redoutable (stern only noticeable on Victory's right side) that hit Nelson and from which he would bite the dust four hours after the fact, right now of his most prominent triumph.

Animals fighting in the wild Trafalgar was the best clash of the time of battling sail and denoted a key defining moment in Napoleon's crusade to secure European control. Napoleon's armed forces may have been all-vanquishing yet the British had authority of the oceans. On October 21st 1805, the consolidated armada of 33 French and Spanish boats, under the charge of the French Admiral Villeneuve, was gone up against by an armada of 27 boats of the Royal Navy, drove by Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson on board the Victory, off Cape Trafalgar on the Spanish coast. Instead of battle broadside-to-broadside in two long lines, Nelson's irregular arrangement was to assault the French and Spanish line in two sections from the west and plan to break straight through the inside, successfully partitioning the French armada and bringing the British into close activity, where their experience and unrivaled gunnery would win.
