BR 23 Nelson

At just 12 years old, he was off on his own to join his uncle's warship, the Raisonnable, and about to start a great adventure.(p.5)

I read this book. It is about Horatio Nelson. He was the hero of 18-19c. He defended Engrand from France. He was the officer of the Royal navy of the UK.
He joined his uncle's warship when he was 12 years old. When the war was over, the ship would not be sailing after all. Insted, Nelson found work on a marchant boat heading the west Indies. On a voyage to the Far East, Nelson grew dengerously sick with maralia, he found that he was destined to become a great leader from an experience.
At 18, he became lieutenant, the first of officer in the Royal navy. Nelson became a captain and then he fought to Spanish ships and won a victory for Britain. He was soon back in action against Spain. One evening, he led a raid, the Spanish opened fire and a musket ballhit his right arm. He was sawed his arm by a surgeon.
Nelson destoryed the French fleet in the battle of the Nile. After the battle, though he won the battle, he worried about Napoleon, looked more powerful than ever. In 1803, he set sail from ports mouth on his magnificent 104-gun flag ships, the victory. His ship guarded the French fleet to stop them from leaving. In 1805 the war between Britain and France had began. It was a brilliant victory for Britain, but Nelson was shot in the left shoulder and collapsed onto the quarterdeck. He lost his eyes as it was for the last time.

I think he is a great Royal Navy of Britain. His name would be left in the future.(271/11,500)
