195e sea battle -Battle of Trafalgar
"In the middle of the Napoleonic War, Lord NELSON, Britain's most famous naval hero is struck by a fatal musket ball at the very moment of his greatest strategic triumph. Rather than bury his body at sea, a quick-thinking Irish surgeon preserves it in a cask of brandy lashed to the deck of the ship. A hurricane is on the horizon and the mast has been shot off; there is no way to hang the sails that would get ship (and body) to England quickly.".©: image: PD - Wikipedia; text: www.atlasobscura.com
