1: Honour and Salt Beef
Almost exactly 172 years ago, news of the costly victory of Trafalgar reached London.
The triumph, great and glorious as it is, has been dearly bought.... If ever there was a man who deserved to be praised, wept and honoured ' by his Country, it is Lord Nelson ... His death has plunged a whole nation into the deepest grief.
(THE TIMES, 7 NOVEMBER 1805)
For Nelson, Trafalgar was the crowning achievement of a lifetime at sea. All the experience he had gained in other earlier battles was a preparation for this final victory. This first programme about him charts his progress during his apprenticeship years in the Navy, his marriage, and his first meeting with Lady Hamilton. with ROD BEACHAM. JAMES
