Famous British seamen include Sir Francis Drake, an explorer and privateer known for circumnavigating the globe and defeating the Spanish Armada. Another notable figure is Captain James Cook, renowned for his voyages of discovery in the Pacific and mapping many areas, including New Zealand and the eastern coastline of Australia. Admiral Horatio Nelson is also celebrated for his leadership during the Napoleonic Wars, particularly at the Battle of Trafalgar. These figures significantly contributed to Britain's naval history and exploration.
