This episode pertains to the search for the Agamemnon, the flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson. On October 21, 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars, Admiral Nelson led twenty-seven Royal Naval ships against France, in a battle off Cape Trafalgar, Spain. The French lost 20 ships; the British lost none. It was the decisive battle of the war, and ended Napoleon's plans to invade Britain. England's naval superiority was established. Yet, Nelson, the battle's commanding hero, was killed by a sniper's bullet. His ghost lives on in this story of the search for the wreckage of his most powerful warship, which ran aground off the coast of Uruguay.
