Admiral Horatio Nelson – The Man Who Loved Emma - Part Two
Last time, we told the story of Lady Emma Hamilton, the woman who loved Nelson. This time, we tell the story of the man who loved her back… and the battle that would make him immortal.
It’s September, 1805. England waits in fear of invasion. Across the Channel, Napoleon’s armies are massing, and one man stands between Britain and disaster.
Horatio Nelson.
He’s older now, exhausted, worn thin by years at sea. But he’s still burning, for his country, for victory, and above all, for Emma. When he says goodbye to her that final night at Merton, he knows, somewhere deep inside, that he will never see her again.
From the quiet of their last embrace to the thunder of Trafalgar — this is the story of Nelson’s final voyage. Of courage and destiny. Of love and loss. And of one man’s journey… into legend.
