  • I don't know about British law, but in the U.S. a documentary such as this could be broadcast in a class room context without any violation taking place. Wouldn't its use for educational purposes exculpate the uploader?

  • @Planetar17 as a German I honestly don't know that much about either British or American law when it comes to issues concerning copyrights. at least I personally feel morally exculpated since it actually IS education. I don't see why a documentary that has a primary purpose of educating rather than making profit (at least it should) shouldn't be available to everyone. the battle of Trafalgar is part of human heritage.

  • @MrPaul1872 if someone from the production company tries to sue you (just theoretically) you can say you did not know or intend o violate the copyrights. of course this explanation makes a lot of sense **

  • He wasn't just the greatest British admiral, he was the greatest admiral of all time, period. He was the Alexander or Napoleon of the sea.

  • Thank You for posting this very intresting.

  • Portillo is so much more bearable since he stopped being an mp

  • @TalonMercenary yes, but ships are very vulnerable to airplanes attack.

  • Everything thinks of the Battle of Britain in 1940 as "all or nothing". The truth is, we still had the Royal Navy to defend our shores if the RAF lost. In 1805, things were much closer. Truly the greatest naval victory ever

  • @kaikovich He did well enough against 'The Dons' at Cape St Vincent .

  • Nelson is probably turning in his grave due to the way the Brits are now shrinking their navy.

  • @PokerDomeAA Nelson managed to win against french terrible commanders in Nile and Trafalgar, but when he fought the spanish he lost like in Cadiz or Tenerife.

  • This is an excellent documentary, which alas I've not previously seen. Thank you for uploading it...

  • Rule Britannia!

  • his wisest counsel was ignored....warned his fellow officers after seeing one of the American Large Frigates.....something like "We will likely have trouble with those large American Cruisers before long.....beware of those ships"... stoutly built with liner guns(usally rated 44 gunner but carried up to 54).....extremely fast with X bracing strenghtening hull to where they suffer nearly no hogging and large sail sweet no liner could catch it & Frigates better not try....
