Napoleonic naval art prints of the Battle of the Nile. 

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.

The Battle of the Nile, 1798 - The Burning of L Orient by Ivan Berryman.

Nelsons annihilation of the French Fleet at Aboukir Bay was complete, but for the escape of Admiral Villeneuve who would again confront his nemesis just seven years later at Trafalgar. Doubled by the British ships and ravaged by their relentless gunnery, the French faced utter defeat as the battle raged into the night. At the centre of the French line lay the massive three decker L Orient. The British Alexander positioned herself astern of L Orient and began to fire mercilessly into her fragile stern galleries. Within a short time, a terrible fire started that raged through her hull, eventually reaching her powder magazine, causing a massive explosion that literally blew L Orient to pieces. In this scene, shortly before the explosion, Alexander can be seen astern of the burning L Orient, minus her maintop, and trying to move away in the intense heat. To her port, the British Majestic is also starting to slip away while, in the foreground, the French Franklin is ablaze and threatened with being caught in the imminent blast. At the extreme right of the picture, crews are racing to remove sails from the British Orion to lessen the risk of fire in the event of L Orients spectacular demise.

Battle of the Nile by Anthony Saunders   On the 1st August 1798, thirteen French ships of the line sate at anchor 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 night time approached so did Lord Horatio Nelson and the British fleet. nelson had been hunting Napoleon at sea for months; at Aboukir Bat he had found the French fleet, trapped and unprepared for battle. Nelson's audacious plan was to attack the French on their unprotected port side, the plan had its risks, the whole of the British fleet could run aground in the Shallows - nut Nelson knew the waters too well. The battle of the Nile was one o f the most decisive in the history of naval warfare. By the end of the battle nearly all three French ships were sunk or captured. the 124 gun flagship the pride of the French navy L'Orient, has exploded with such ferocity that it halted the battle for over ten minutes. Napoleon's ability to dominate the region had been crushed, whilst Nelson was to become a hero throughout the whole of Britain.   Ships form left to right.

The Great Gate of Hougoumont by Keith Rocco.

The Great Gate of Hougoumont by Keith Rocco.   Anchoring the Anglo-Allied right center, the formidable chateau of Hougoumont has become synonymous with the Battle of Waterloo. It was here that the French army - driven by its institutional memory grounded in victories which saw Napoleonic soldiers defeat other armies while carrying such celebrated defensive positions as the Abbey of Elchingen and the Castle of Ebelsberg -- met a foe of a more determined mettle. Time and again, French attacks swept forward in vain attempts to capture Hougoumont which, if successful, would have opened the covered way into the heart of Wellingtons position. The closest the French came to capturing the chateau was their second assault, spearheaded by Colonel Cubieres 1st Legere. Although Cubieres was wounded and thrown off his horse just outside the chateaus great gate, the assault was sustained by sous-lieutenant Legros. Wielding a pioneers ax, and though facing a hail of bullets, Legros, nicknamed lEnforceur, broke open the barrier and forced his way into the courtyard, followed by about 40 other members of the 1st Legere. The garrison managed to reclose the gate behind Legros, thus cutting off French reinforcements, and slew all the assailants except for one young French drummer boy. Hence, with the closing of The Great Gate of Hougoumont did the Duke of Wellington claim the reason why he won the last Napoleonic battle.
