This is a limited edition pair of unframed facsimile pages reproduced from the original Midshipman’s log that was written (complete with water smudge) on board HMS Victory on the eve of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
A copy is held in the Nelson Norfolk Museum , and the events recorded within the document are confirmed in the definitive ‘Life of Nelson’ by Robert Southey.
