Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY
This day in 1805 the English Navy defeated the combined French and Spanish Navies at the Battle of Trafalgar.
The news of the victory was conveyed to Falmouth aboard HMS Pickle and from there by a relay of post chaise and four to the Admiralty in London.
This arrived in the early hours of 6th November.
. . if only they'd had a mobile signal!
and what a good Bank Holiday Trafalgar Day would be!
