The view from H.M.S. Victory at 06.05, Monday 21st October 1805.
Five minutes after the informal moment depicted, at 06.10, the British attack began.
It is as if YOU are onboard the flagship. You are among the crew members as the fateful dawn appears. This scene is based on eye witness accounts from both fleets and sketches made at the time.
The margin of this extraordinary picture includes a sketch of the combined fleet, named in (most probable) order of sailing at 06.05hrs "I was awoken by the crew rushing on deck and by their cheering". This excitement was repeated on most of the other British ships. The movements of the men, their positions, body language, cloths & even hair styles result from very extensive research, as is the equipment, appearance & position of Victory & the other ships depicted. All is as historically accurate as diligent research could make it at the time.
