Here the french ships would be trapped from the British firing up both sides, with the british ships with easy escape almost unharmed. This was Nelsons first battle with his lost right arm.

The victory was given to the British as the French commander had died from wounds on the ship during the battle. Gun powder on the ship was struck at 10pm by the HMS Bellerophon and the ship blew to pieces.
