The commander of the joint French and Spanish forces, Admiral Villeneuve, was captured along with his ship Bucentaure.

The French Bucentaure was isolated by the Victory and Temeraire, and then engaged by Neptune, Leviathan and Conqueror ; similarly, the Santísima Trinidad was isolated and overwhelmed without being rescued, surrendering after three hours.

Nelson, though outnumbered, won the Battle of Trafalgar, and Villeneuve's flagship Bucentaure was captured along with many other French and Spanish ships.

Quilliam soon repaid the faith Nelson had placed in him as the following extract from James's Naval History of Great Britain shows, he assisted in steering her into action at Trafalgar :-" Just as she ( the Victory ) had got about 500 yards of the larboard beam of the Bucentaure the Victorys mizzen-topmast was shot away, about two-thirds up.

Admiral Villeneuve was lucky to survive, and although he was not captured for three hours, the raking put Bucentaure out of the fight.

At the Battle of Trafalgar that October, Neptune was third in Nelson's division, cutting the Combined Fleet shortly after HMS Victory did, and ploughing past the wrecked Bucentaure he engaged the massive Santissima Trinidad with which he endured a savage slogging match which left Neptune with 44 casualties and the outnumbered Spanish ship with over 300.

She was a Bucentaure class two-decker of the same type than the French flagship of the Battle of Trafalgar.

HMS Victory used the two 68-pounder carronades which she carried on her forecastle to great effect at the Battle of Trafalgar, clearing the gun deck of the Bucentaure by firing a round shot and a keg of 500 musket balls through the Bucentaures stern windows.

Among the taken French ships were the Aigle, Algésiras,, Bucentaure, Fougueux, Intrépide, Redoutable, and Swiftsure.

Admiral Nelson's HMS Victory, leading the weather column of the British fleet, broke the French line just astern of the French flagship Bucentaure, and just ahead of Redoutable.

At 12: 45, Victory cut the enemy line between Villeneuve's flagship Bucentaure and Redoutable.

Victory came close to the Bucentaure, firing a devastating raking broadside through her stern which killed and wounded many on her gundecks.

Nelson had earlier told Hardy to cut the line astern of Bucentaure, but in order to protect her, Redoutable closed up.

At that point, however, a gap opened and Hardy took Victory through it, passing so close to Bucentaure that they almost touched.

He raised his flag on the Bucentaure, regularly repelling Nelson's fleet, which blockaded the harbour.

Brannon was hunkered down with his broad back to the left rear wheel, with the other two facing him.

Curt was holding Jess's gun in his left hand.

Johnson unwired the right hand door, whose window was, like the left one, merely loosely-taped fragments of glass, and Johnson wadded himself into a narrow seat made still more narrow by three cases of beer.

Johnson's left hand was pressed against the side of his head, red cheeks whitening beneath his fingers.

Rob Roy was well aware of the importance of this mission, and he would walk in front of the President, looking neither to the right nor to the left.

Morgan was ordered to attack the enemy, who had meantime moved to Edge Hill on the left of the Americans.

His neighbors celebrated his return, even if it was only temporary, and Morgan was especially gratified by the quaint expression of an elderly friend, Isaac Lane, who told him, `` A man that has so often left all that is dear to him, as thou hast, to serve thy country, must create a sympathetic feeling in every patriotic heart ''.
