The Royal Navy was counting upon the poor and inexperienced French/Spanish crewmen when engaged by the better trained British crewmen when fighting cannon to cannon when their sailing ships rode up along side each other. Plus, Admiral Nelson of the British (Royal Navy) had engineered a stronger method of "command and control", that of line ahead movement, in which each vessel of his fleet could see his flag signals from his "flag ship."

Tonnage of shot used at the battle of trafalgar?
There were approximately 4,716 guns (cannons) at Trafalgar. Pretty close to evenly split between the British and the enemy. The British primarily were armed with 32, 24, and 09 pounders; while the French/Spanish were equipped with mostly 36, 24, and 08 pounders. The British crewmen could fire 3 times as fast as the inexperienced enemy could. The fight lasted approximately 5 hrs (noon to 1700 hours). Presuming about 10 rounds were fired from each of those 4716 guns, and averaging the calibers to 22 pounders, roughly 1,391,400 tons of shot were deposited onto the ocean's bottom (they didn't stay inside those wooden ships).

How did Admiral Nelson defeat the French Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar?
Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar by using his brain! He knew the Spanish/French fleet was coming to take him out, so he decided to launch a preemptive strike. The Combined fleet outnumbered him by a large margin. He had 33 ships, and his enemies had 41, and all were very large ships. He had his ships approach the combined fleet from the side, in two seperate columns. He was counting on the ability to split the combines line of ships in to three pieces, where they could each individually be surrounded and destroyed. He approched the allied fleet, which was sloppily assembled into a long line, and had the two columns run at full speed towards the enemy. With the poor gunnary skills of the allied ships, British casulties were few in the approach. Nelson led the first column which split the fleet almost in two, with his second in command runnding the secon column to cut off the rear of the fleet. The middle part was surounded and was worn down by the British. As the French and Spanish ships started sinking or surrendering, the british started ganging up on the few ships left. By that night, almost all of the entire allied fleed had either sank or surrendered. In the end, Nelson used his 33 ships and 17,000 men to conquor a superior force of 41 ships and 30,000 men. He used tactics and leveraged the advantages to target the enemies weaknesses. It is a true shame that he died at the end of the battle, for he was a brilliant Admiral.
