A simulation of the The Battle of Cape St Vincent (14th February 1797)

As dawn broke on the 14th February 1797, Midshipman George Parsons of HMS Barfleur wrote, “the fog drew up like a curtain and disclosed the grandest sight I ever witnessed. The Spanish fleet, close on our weather bow … looked a complete forest huddled together; their commander-in-chief covered with signals”. The battle that ensued that Valentine’s Day would destroy French hopes of a cross-Channel invasion, reinforce the aura of invincibility that surrounded the Royal Navy, and create a new hero for the British people, Horatio Nelson. It was a truly momentous day.
