An original Manuscript Order Signed 'Nelson & Bronte', addressed to the Masters of His Majesty's Ships Royal Sovereign, Decade and Martin, requesting them to survey 'two Casks of Pease rotten and mouldy' and other named defective stores reported by 'Captain Hardy of His Majesty's Ship Victory', and to report back to Nelson 'from under your hands a Clear and correct account of your proceedings'. Countersigned by John Scott, Nelson's secretary. 2 pp. 12 x 8 inches, some wear along fold marks, small blank piece lacking in lower left corner, generally of good appearance, but with some uneven staining where folded. 'Given on board the Victory in Lagos Bay [Portugal] the 10th May 1805.' Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), victor of the Battle of Trafalgar, England's most famous sailor. The fascination of this historic document lies in its date and the circumstances in which it was written. For Nelson this was a time of decision, and on 11 May 1805 he set sail for the West Indies in pursuit of the French fleet. He had sailed through the Straits of Gibraltar on 6 May, but information about the French fleet only reached Nelson on the 9 May. He came to the conclusion the French were about a month ahead of him, but 'chance may have given them a bad passage, and me a good one'. The next day was spent preparing five months' provisions for his own fleet. In this context the removal of mouldy rations takes on a new significance. 'Nobody in England would know until the end of May where either Nelson or the French fleet had vanished to.' [Edgar Vincent, Nelson: Love and Fame, 2003] | £4,600 |
