Nelson had his ships prepared.
He knew the French would create a straight line, assuming that the British would form a line and fight parellel to each other.
But Nelson had another plan. Rather than fighting parellel to each other, where the odds of winning was 50/50. Nelson decided to put half of his fleet on one side parellel to the other ships, and on the other side the same thing.
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.
