Lloyd's List, Friday August 19 2005, p6
Two centuries before satellite broadcasts, news travelled by sea ...
Two new prints have been released by marine artist Gordon Frickers to mark two very significant points in the Trafalgar story.
'Trafalgar Dawn' interprets history to depict the view from HMS Vitory at five minutes past six on October 21, 1805, when officers where awoken by the cheering of the crew on deck.
'I have urgent dispatches' ... leaps to the aftermath and the tiny HMS Pickle conveying the news of the victory at Trafalgar and Nelson's death.
