The Battle Of Trafalgar Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Battle of Trafalgar Now, when the numbers came to be 27 to 33, instead of the 40 to 46 that Nelson had supposed, a very fair carrying out of his principle would have divided the enemy's fleet into three parts of I I ships each, so the 14 ships should take one I I, I 3 ships another I 1, while the third I I in the van should be let go free. There would have been no sense in putting a lee division of (say) 14 ships on to 16 or I 7 of the enemy's the weather division of (say) 13 ships on to 4 or 5 of the enemy's, while a van 'of 12 or 13 ships should have been let go free.
