The combined fleets would rendezvous at <a href="/wiki/Martinique" title="Martinique">Martinique</a> and then double back to Europe, land troops in Ireland to raise a rebellion, defeat the weakened British patrols in the Channel, and help transport the Armée d'Angleterre across the <a href="/wiki/Straits_of_Dover" class="mw-redirect" title="Straits of Dover">Straits of Dover</a>. </p><p>Villeneuve sailed from Toulon on 29 March with eleven <a href="/wiki/Ships_of_the_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Ships of the line">ships of the line</a>, six <a href="/wiki/Frigate" title="Frigate">frigates</a> and two <a href="/wiki/Brig" title="Brig">brigs</a>. He evaded Admiral <a href="/wiki/Horatio_Nelson,_1st_Viscount_Nelson" title="Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson">Nelson</a>'s blockading fleet and passed the <a href="/wiki/Strait_of_Gibraltar" title="Strait of Gibraltar">Strait of Gibraltar</a> on 8 April. At <a href="/wiki/C%C3%A1diz" title="Cádiz">Cádiz</a>, he drove off the British blockading squadron and was joined by six Spanish ships of the line. The combined fleet sailed for the West Indies, reaching Martinique on 12 May. </p><p>Nelson was kept in the Mediterranean by westerly winds and did not pass the Strait until 7 May. The British fleet of ten ships reached <a href="/wiki/Antigua" title="Antigua">Antigua</a> on 4 June. </p><p>Villeneuve waited at Martinique for Admiral <a href="/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Joseph_Antoine_Ganteaume" title="Honoré Joseph Antoine Ganteaume">Ganteaume</a>'s Brest fleet to join him, but it remained blockaded in port. Pleas from French army officers for Villeneuve to attack British colonies went unheeded—except for the recapture of the island fort of <a href="/wiki/Diamond_Rock" title="Diamond Rock">Diamond Rock</a>—until 4 June when he set out from Martinique. On 7 June he learned from a captured British merchantman that Nelson had arrived at Antigua, and on 11 June Villeneuve left for Europe, having failed to achieve any of his objectives in the Caribbean. </p><p>While in the <a href="/wiki/Antilles" title="Antilles">Antilles</a>, the Franco-Spanish fleet ran into a British convoy worth 5 million <a href="/wiki/Franc" title="Franc">francs</a> escorted by the frigate <i>Barbadoes</i>, 28 guns, and <a href="/wiki/Sloop-of-war" title="Sloop-of-war">sloop</a> <i>Netley</i>. Villeneuve hoisted general chase and two French frigates with the Spanish ship <i>Argonauta</i>, 80 guns, captured all the ships but one escort. </p><p>On 30 June the combined squadron captured and burned an English 14-gun <a href="/wiki/Privateer" title="Privateer">privateer</a>. On 3 July the fleet recaptured Spanish galleon <i>Matilda</i>, which carried an estimated 15 million franc treasure, from English privateer <i>Mars</i>, from Liverpool, which was towing <i>Matilda</i> to an English harbour. The privateer was burned and the merchant was taken in tow by the <a href="/wiki/French_frigate_Sir%C3%A8ne_(1795)" title="French frigate Sirène (1795)"><i>Sirène</i></a>. </p><p>The fleet sailed back to Europe. On 9 July the French ship <i>Indomptable</i> lost its main spar in a gale that damaged some other vessels slightly. The Atlantic crossings had been very difficult, according to Spanish Admiral <a href="/wiki/Federico_Carlos_Gravina_y_N%C3%A1poli" class="mw-redirect" title="Federico Carlos Gravina y Nápoli">Gravina</a>, who had crossed the Atlantic eleven times. So, with some ships in bad condition, tired crews and scarce victuals, the combined fleet sighted land near <a href="/wiki/Cape_Finisterre" title="Cape Finisterre">Cape Finisterre</a> on 22 July. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Battle">Battle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Cape_Finisterre_(1805)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Battle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>News of the returning French fleet reached Vice Admiral <a href="/wiki/Robert_Calder" title="Robert Calder">Robert Calder</a> on 19 July.

In poor visibility, the battle became a confused melee. <i>Malta</i> formed the rear-most ship in the British line in the approach to the battle, but as the fleets became confused in the failing light and thick patchy fog, <i>Malta</i>, commanded by <a href="/wiki/Sir_Edward_Buller,_1st_Baronet" title="Sir Edward Buller, 1st Baronet">Sir Edward Buller</a>, found itself surrounded by five Spanish ships.<sup id="cite_ref-Adkin56_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Adkin56-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Tracy66_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tracy66-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After a fierce engagement in which <i>Malta</i> suffered five killed and forty wounded, the British ship battled it out, sending out devastating broadsides from both port and starboard. </p><p>At about 20:00, Buller forced the Spanish 80-gun <i>San Rafael</i> to strike, and afterwards sent the <i>Malta</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s boats to take possession of the Spanish 74-gun <i>Firme</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Tracy66_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tracy66-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ABO72_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ABO72-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-GM760_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GM760-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Calder signalled to break-off the action at 20:25, aiming to continue the battle the next day. In the failing light and general confusion, some ships continued to fire for another hour. </p><p>Daybreak on 23 July found the fleets 27 kilometres (17 mi) apart. Calder was unwilling to attack a second time against superior odds. He had to protect the damaged <i>Windsor Castle</i> and <i>Malta</i> with her large captured Spanish prizes and considered the possibility that the previously blockaded fleets at Rochefort and Ferrol might put to sea and effect a junction with Villeneuve's combined fleet. Accordingly, he declined to attack and headed northeast with his prizes. </p><p>Villeneuve's report claims that at first he intended to attack, but in the very light breezes it took all day to come up to the British and he decided not to risk combat late in the day. On 24 July a change in the wind put the Franco-Spanish fleet to the windward of the British—the ideal position for an attack—but instead of attacking, Villeneuve turned away to the south. When he arrived at <a href="/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a" title="A Coruña">A Coruña</a> on 1 August, he received orders from Napoleon to proceed immediately to Brest and Boulogne, but perhaps believing a false report of a superior British fleet in the Bay of Biscay, he returned to Cádiz, arriving on 21 August. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 285px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 280px; height: 230px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Calder%27s_Action.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Defiance, Windsor Castle, Prince of Wales, Repulse, Raisonable, and Glory, an engraving after Thomas Whitcombe"><img alt="Defiance, Windsor Castle, Prince of Wales, Repulse, Raisonable, and Glory, an engraving after Thomas Whitcombe" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Calder%27s_Action.jpg/250px-Calder%27s_Action.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Calder%27s_Action.jpg/375px-Calder%27s_Action.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Calder%27s_Action.jpg/500px-Calder%27s_Action.jpg 2x" data-file-width="540" data-file-height="432" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext"><i>Defiance</i>, <i>Windsor Castle</i>, <i>Prince of Wales</i>, <i>Repulse</i>, <i>Raisonable</i>, and <i>Glory</i>, an engraving after <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Whitcombe" title="Thomas Whitcombe">Thomas Whitcombe</a></div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 285px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 280px; height: 230px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Battle_of_Cape_Finisterre.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Day after the action – British frigates have two Spanish prizes, the Firme and the San Rafael under tow on the right.
