Admiral Horatio Nelson's time had come. Joining the British navy at age twelve and
advancing all the way to Admiral, he became Britain's most celebrated naval hero.
Storied naval victories at places like Cape St. Vincent in Portugal, the Nile delta in Egypt, and the Cape of Trafalgar in Spain, would make him a celebrity. He also saw crushing defeats and lost the vision in one eye and most of his right arm. The French Revolution had spawned the Napoleonic wars with tremendous loss of life throughout Europe. Horatio was there to ensure no invasion of Britain. He was determined to
vanquish all foes of his beloved England and he would lose his life in service of King and country. This is his story of service, love, love lost and found again, ambition and his own desire to conquer mixed with his own insecurities. He was a man whose time had come at the right time and place for England.
