The allied fleet, under the command of the French admiral, <a href="/wiki/Pierre-Charles_Villeneuve" title="Pierre-Charles Villeneuve">Pierre-Charles Villeneuve</a>, sailed from the port of <a href="/wiki/C%C3%A1diz" title="Cádiz">Cádiz</a> in the south of Spain on 18 October 1805. They encountered the British fleet under <a href="/wiki/Lord_Nelson" class="mw-redirect" title="Lord Nelson">Lord Nelson</a>, recently assembled to meet this threat, in the Atlantic Ocean along the southwest coast of Spain, off <a href="/wiki/Cape_Trafalgar" title="Cape Trafalgar">Cape Trafalgar</a>. </p><p>Nelson was outnumbered, with 27 British <a href="/wiki/Ships_of_the_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Ships of the line">ships of the line</a> to 33 Franco-Spanish ships, including the largest warship in either fleet, the Spanish <i><a href="/wiki/Spanish_ship_Nuestra_Se%C3%B1ora_de_la_Sant%C3%ADsima_Trinidad" title="Spanish ship Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad">Santísima Trinidad</a></i>. To address this imbalance, Nelson sailed his fleet directly at the allied battle line's flank, hoping to break the line into pieces. Villeneuve had worried that Nelson might attempt this tactic, but for various reasons, failed to prepare for it. The plan worked almost perfectly; Nelson's columns split the Franco-Spanish fleet in three, isolating the rear half from Villeneuve's flag aboard <a href="/wiki/French_ship_Bucentaure_(1803)" title="French ship Bucentaure (1803)"><i>Bucentaure</i></a>. The allied vanguard sailed off while it attempted to turn around, giving the British temporary superiority over the remainder of their fleet. In the ensuing fierce battle 20 allied ships were lost, while the British lost none. </p><p>The offensive exposed the leading British ships to intense crossfire as they approached the Franco-Spanish lines. Nelson's own <a href="/wiki/HMS_Victory" title="HMS Victory">HMS <i>Victory</i></a> led the front column and was almost knocked out of action. Nelson was shot by a French musketeer during the battle, and died shortly before it ended. Villeneuve was captured along with his flagship <i>Bucentaure</i>.

On 16 September 1805 Villeneuve received orders from Napoleon to sail the Combined Fleet from Cádiz to Naples. At first, Villeneuve was optimistic about returning to the Mediterranean, but soon had second thoughts. A war council was held aboard his flagship, <a href="/wiki/French_ship_Bucentaure_(1803)" title="French ship Bucentaure (1803)"><i>Bucentaure</i></a>, on 8 October.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBest2005178_54-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBest2005178-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While some of the French captains wished to obey Napoleon's orders, the Spanish captains and other French officers, including Villeneuve, thought it best to remain in Cádiz.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBest2005179_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBest2005179-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Villeneuve changed his mind yet again on 18 October 1805, ordering the Combined Fleet to sail immediately even though there were only very light winds.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESchom1990301–06_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchom1990301–06-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The sudden change was prompted by a letter Villeneuve had received on 18 October, informing him that Vice-Admiral <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Rosily" class="mw-redirect" title="François Rosily">François Rosily</a> had arrived in <a href="/wiki/Madrid" title="Madrid">Madrid</a> with orders to take command of the Combined Fleet.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELee2005289–290_57-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2005289–290-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Stung by the prospect of being disgraced before the fleet, Villeneuve resolved to go to sea before his successor could reach Cádiz.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHannay1911153_39-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHannay1911153-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the same time, he received intelligence that a detachment of six British ships (Admiral Louis' squadron), had docked at Gibraltar, thus weakening the British fleet. This was used as the pretext for sudden change. </p><p>The weather, however, suddenly turned calm following a week of gales. This slowed the progress of the fleet leaving the harbour, giving the British plenty of warning. Villeneuve had drawn up plans to form a force of four squadrons, each containing both French and Spanish ships. Following their earlier vote on 8 October to stay put, some captains were reluctant to leave Cádiz, and as a result they failed to follow Villeneuve's orders closely and the fleet straggled out of the harbour in no particular formation. </p><p>It took most of 20 October for Villeneuve to get his fleet organised; it eventually set sail in three columns for the Straits of Gibraltar to the southeast. That same evening, <a href="/wiki/French_ship_Achille_(1804)" title="French ship Achille (1804)"><i>Achille</i></a> spotted a force of 18 British ships of the line in pursuit. The fleet began to prepare for battle and during the night, they were ordered into a single line. The following day, Nelson's fleet of 27 ships of the line and four frigates was spotted in pursuit from the northwest with the wind behind it. Villeneuve again ordered his fleet into three columns, but soon changed his mind and restored a single line. The result was a sprawling, uneven formation. </p><p>At <span class="nowrap">5:40 a.m.</span> on 21 October, the British were about 21 miles (34 km) to the northwest of Cape Trafalgar, with the Franco-Spanish fleet between the British and the Cape.

This reversed the order of the allied line, placing the rear division under Rear-Admiral <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Dumanoir_le_Pelley" title="Pierre Dumanoir le Pelley">Pierre Dumanoir le Pelley</a> in the vanguard. The wind became contrary at this point, often shifting direction. The very light wind rendered manoeuvring virtually impossible for all but the most expert seamen. The inexperienced crews had difficulty with the changing conditions, and it took nearly an hour and a half for Villeneuve's order to be completed. The French and Spanish fleet now formed an uneven, angular crescent, with the slower ships generally to <a href="/wiki/Leeward" class="mw-redirect" title="Leeward">leeward</a> and closer to the shore. </p><p>By <span class="nowrap">11 a.m.,</span> Nelson's entire fleet was visible to Villeneuve, drawn up in two parallel columns. The two fleets would be within range of each other within an hour. Villeneuve was concerned at this point about forming up a line, as his ships were unevenly spaced in an irregular formation drawn out nearly 5 miles (8 km) long as Nelson's fleet approached. </p><p>As the British drew closer, they could see that the combined French and Spanish fleet was not sailing in a tight order, but in irregular groups. Nelson could not immediately make out the French flagship as the French and Spanish were not flying command pennants. </p><p>Nelson was outnumbered and outgunned, with the opposing fleet totalling nearly <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">30<span style="margin-left:0.25em">000</span></span> men</span> and <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">2<span style="margin-left:0.25em">568</span></span> guns</span> to Nelson's <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">17<span style="margin-left:0.25em">000</span></span> men</span> and <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">2<span style="margin-left:0.25em">148</span></span> guns.</span> The Franco-Spanish fleet also had six more ships of the line, and so could more readily combine their fire.
