1805 the mighty Napoleon Bonaparte had conquered most of mainland Europe. He then turned his attention to invading Britain. He needed his navy to take control of the English Channel for just 24 hours. Unfortunately the British navy control the seas. This is the story of the build up to the epic Battle of Trafalgar. A battle that once won by Lord Nelson, saved the British Isles from the threat of invasion for 134 years.
