October 21
British Admiral Horatio Nelson lost his right eye capturing Corsica and his right arm attacking the Canary Islands.
He captured six and destroyed seven of Napoleon's ships at the Battle of the Nile and successfully assaulted Copenhagen.
Horatio Nelson is best remembered, though, for winning one of the greatest naval battles in history, The Battle of Trafalgar, on OCTOBER 21, 1805.
The daring 47-year-old Nelson defeated 36-year-old Napoleon's combined French and Spanish fleets, consisting of 33 ships with 2,640 guns off the coast of Spain.
The fifteen million dollars Napoleon received two years earlier from selling 600 million acres to the United States was not enough to change the outcome.
Admiral Nelson's defeat of the French navy abruptly ended Napoleon's power at sea, and with it, his dreams of world conquest.
The 90,000 French troops assembled on the coast of France were forced to abandon their plans of crossing the English Channel and invading Britain.
During the Battle of Trafalgar, cannonade and musket shot ripped apart ships at point blank range, killing or wounding nearly ten thousand.
Admiral Nelson was fatally shot in the spine.
He was carried below deck to the ship's surgeon where he died.
Admiral Horatio Nelson's last words were:
"Thank God I have done my duty."

Tables of Truth
Roman Catholic Church versus the Bible. Written by Pat Franklin, a ‘cradle Catholic’ educated at Catholic schools in America.
I read the New Testament for myself (a Catholic version of the Bible) in England in 1981 and saw that Catholicism was not right, but that salvation was by faith in Christ alone. I knelt down in my bedroom and confessed my sins to the Lord Jesus and asked Him to let me be one of His people. From that day I have belonged to Him. This is copyright, and cannot be offered for sale, but I (Pat) urge our readers to print out a hard copy or copies and give them out free to friends and relatives so that the truth of this gets out far and wide. God bless you in your efforts to inform people. Here we have set out some of the main differences between Christianity and Islam. The two are diametrically opposed, with no common ground of any sort and no possibility of any dialogue ever. Compiled by Pat Franklin. Here is the shortest, simplest Table of Truth I have so far devised to prove that the Catholic Church is a false church, not true Christianity - not the church Jesus set up at all ! An ‘aura’ is a distinctive atmosphere as in an ‘aura of mystery’ ; special quality or air around something or someone. But in paranormal, New Age circles an aura is:
- A supposed coloured emanation surrounding someone
- Coloured field around someone’s head https://yeshuaspeople.com/tonghamcf/sermon/5-11-23-why-has-one-nation-been-singled-out-for-such-hatred-israel/
