The Battle of the
Nile, August 1798.
During the Napoleonic Wars
after the Royal Navy left the Mediterranean, Napoleon was ordered to seize
Egypt and to secure the Red Sea for France. When the British heard of the
French landing, Admiral Horatio Nelson, with a Royal naval squadron, was
sent to Egypt. On the 1st August, Horatio Nelson discovered the French
fleet at anchor in Aboukir Bay, the French fleet consisted of 13 ships of
the line, 4 naval frigates and a variety of troop ships. Admiral Nelson
had a force of 14 ships, he divided his fleet into two, sailed one half of
his fleet into the bay of Aboukir between the French and the shoreline,
while the 2nd half of his fleet sailed the other side of the French line.
The French fleet was almost entirely destroyed with only 2 French ships
escaping. This British naval victory ended Napoleon's Egyptian campaign.
Aboukir Bay is East of Alexandria in Egypt.

Battle of the Nile by Anthony Saunders
On the 1st of August 1798, thirteen French ships of the line sat anchored in Aboukir Bay off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt, in support of Napoleon who was inland with his troops attempting to conquer the country. As nighttime approached so did Lord Horatio Nelson and the British fleet. Nelson had been hunting Napoleon at sea for months; at Aboukir Bay he had found the French fleet, trapped and unprepared for battle. Nelsons audacious plan was to attack the French on their unprotected prot side, the plan had its risks; the whole of the British fleet could run aground in the shallows - but Nelson knew the waters too well. The Battle of the Nile was one of the most decisive in the history of naval warfare. By the end of the battle nearly all the French ships were sunk or captured. The 124-gun flagship - and the pride of the French navy - LOrient, had exploded with such ferocity that it halted the battle for over ten minutes. Napoleons ability to dominate the region had been crushed, whilst Nelson was to become a hero throughout the whole of Britain.

Sunset over Aboukir Bay on 1st August 1798 as ships of the Royal Navy, led by Nelson, conduct their ruthless destruction of the anchored French fleet. To the left Saumarezs HMS Orion is moving into position on the Peuple Souvrain, while her starboard guns rake one of the French frigates inshore. Orion, like the Goliath, Zealous and Audacious, had slipped inside the line of the unprepared French fleet, while Nelson in the Vanguard directed a further eight ships to attack the outside, resulting in one of the most decisive naval victories ever. The French ships seen at anchor include Spartiate and Aquilon, whilst through the gap between Peuple Souvrain and the bowsprit of the Franklin, the British ships Defence and Minotaur can be seen approaching.
