Re: If Trafalgar happened today...

I'll send that to my Brother in Spain - he's an historian and right this minute (the 202nd anniversary of the battle) he's on a boat at Trafalgar with the great great grandaughter of the commander of HMS Conqueror.

At the 200th anniversary there were represenatives from all countries involved. I think it was a Times reporter who asked a French guy what he thought about celebrating a French defeat. His reply was a classic "Oh, I thought we were celebrating the death of Nelson"
