About this book
Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson by William Beatty presents the circumstances surrounding the death, a professional report on the wound, and anecdotes. The naval account describes prompt measures to prevent the enemy from obtaining provisions by sea when supplies were reported to be badly needed. The frigates Euryalus and Hydra receive orders to remain off the entrance of Cadiz as part of the operations described.
A system of ships placed at convenient intervals maintains communication with frigates near shore by allowing signals to be distinguished between vessels. The Victory continues firing its starboard guns at the Redoutable for about fifteen minutes after Lord Nelson is wounded. The tactical instructions explain that ships unable to cut through at their exact assigned place will still be near enough to assist their friends.
