1,700 British died in the battle of Trafalgar and maybe even more.
A total of 2,700 were in service under Nelson at Trafalgar.
About 3,000 crewmen were wounded.
Only one vessel was sunk. The rest were captured. In those days, sailors were paid by the ships captured (called prizes) and then sold at auction. Sinking them in battle was lost monies. When ships became steel instead of wood, they no longer could be captured and sold at auction for prize money; with the exception of the Battle of Tsushima in 1905; that was the last time in history in which a battleship FLEET surrendered upon the high seas. But those were steel battleships and they were retained for use, and the others had sunk in battle. At Trafalgar, wooden ships were captured.
Trafalgar square is named after the battle, and that particular square is apparently the scene of MANY political rallies, speeches, tourists, and other causes. Mandela is most likely one of the many political visitors to that area.
The British lost some 1,500 killed or wounded. The Spanish-French allied lost about 14,000 men of whom about 7,000 were taken prisoners.
It impacted British culture alot. Many things have been built around the world, especially in London, to remember important people that fought in this battle. For example, Lord Horatio Nelson has his own column. Called Nelson's column which is a statue of him. When he died, there was a big hero's funeral which many people payed their respectings to as he was the leader of Britain that won against France. The Battle of Trafalgar has had a big impact on British Culture.
