Nelson was a Brilliant naval commander. His ability to size up and accurately assess a situation, then “get at them” efficiently was exemplary.
-
I love Nelson. What a legend. I actually own a part of the upper decking taken during the renovation of the H.M.S Victory, and a cannonball. I admire his sheer bravery and ability to win battles.
-
The greatest Englishman. Started as a cabin boy to become admiral.Gave his eye then his arm and finally his life for his country. I have visited HMS Victory and it was a very moving experience
-
I live in the middle of Canada and have never seen the sea, nor tasted it. People tell me it's very salty, but it sounds so far-fetched to me. Hearing stories about these historical figures on the waters inspires me to one day drive to Canada's edge and have a sip of the drink for the first time in my life. I just turned 30 today.
-
I think the film Master and Commander sums up nicely how this man was thought of by his peers and his country, a true hero.
-
All legends are ultimately human. Yes, he had failings as a person. As an officer, however, even his disobedience was a boon to his men and country. A leader of peerless bravery, Nelson stands as the shining example of what a driven and intelligent man is capable of. Excellent documentary!

“No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy” Horatio Nelson
-
I think he was human. We gotta stop judging history by todays standards. Great documentary.
-
The judgement of Nelson should be in the hands of the sailors who manned his many ships and those of the fleets he commanded. He was universally loved by his men and totally respected. He treated them fairly,, trained them to perfection and inspired them to win all their famous victories, often against the odds. That should be the true measure of the man.
-
That legendary encounter in 1805 feels like a baton pass. Nelson made it so Britain could not be defeated and later Wellington made the victory. Legendary time of legendary men
-
Absolute hero, a once off, never to be repeated in history. Cheers
-
Flawed but brilliant. My brother shares part of his name. Nelson. Thank you for this great history lesson. My favorite subject. 👏👏👏👏

"He was, in different circumstances, two quite different men...a style so vain and so silly as to surprise and almost disgust me...but...luckily I saw enough to be satisfied that he was really a very superior man; but certainly a more sudden and complete metamorphosis I never saw...." Arthur Wellesley a.k.a. the Duke of Wellington in 1805, after a brief meeting with Nelson at the Colonial Office in Downing Street.
-
Another great documentary, and what a man he was, sad they want to pull his statue down now. Love this channel cant wait for what's next.
-
Nelson was the greatest naval tactician in its history and set the template for all who would succeed him, including commanders all across the globe. He instilled and inspired loyalty and was a man of great passion for his job, he’s an example to us all to never give up in the face of apparently insuperable odds. May his spirit live on!
-
What a great man and hero. Hundreds of years later,he is still the greatest naval hero in British history. His example needs followed by all of us,not just military commanders. A bygone time when admirals and generals fought alongside their men at the front-because they were the front! His life and career we're inspiring,yet his final words on this Earth still get to me. "I am so happy that I have done my duty for my God,my king and my country". Words to live by!
-
I have read much about Lord Nelson; he was a great man. I would liked to have met him in person.
-
Truly a Great hero and with duty in mind.
-
One of my heroes of history along with the Duke of Wellington.
