Missed that entirely. <g> But when I was there I went to Portsmouth and
actually went aboard. Shared the experience with about 1,000 French school
children. I asked one of the on-board guides, who appeared to be a retired
Royal Navy Chief, if the teachers were telling them what actually happened at
Trafalgar. He laughed and said they used to claim the French won because they
killed Nelson, but now they pretty much stick to the accepted historical
account of the battle.
