    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Now a few shots from Copenhagen.

    After the traditional glass of port and briefing from Admiral Neil Nelson. (Horry could not make it) so Neil stepped in the British squadron rounds the Middle Ground and begins its assult on the Danish line.
    The trophy in the foreground is on view to put a bit of steel into the assault.
