GEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A. (British, Contemporary)

"Vanguard in heavy weather off Toulon, 19th May 1798"

On the 19th May 1798, Nelson nearly lost Vanguard, which had been his flagship at The Nile.

Nelson was waiting on blockade off Toulon and was caught completely unprepared by a storm. He was in the greatest danger of losing his ship and she was saved only by the great bravery of Captain Ball of the Alexander.

It is a tantalising speculation as to how the next seven years would have unfolded for both Britain and Nelson had Vanguard been lost in 1798 and Nelson's career suffered the consequences.
