The Battle of the
Nile, August 1798. 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 of August 1798, thirteen French ships of the line sat anchored 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 nighttime approached so did Lord Horatio Nelson and the British fleet. Nelson had been hunting Napoleon at sea for months; at Aboukir Bay he had found the French fleet, trapped and unprepared for battle. Nelsons audacious plan was to attack the French on their unprotected prot side, the plan had its risks; the whole of the British fleet could run aground in the shallows - but Nelson knew the waters too well. The Battle of the Nile was one of the most decisive in the history of naval warfare. By the end of the battle nearly all the French ships were sunk or captured. The 124-gun flagship - and the pride of the French navy - LOrient, had exploded with such ferocity that it halted the battle for over ten minutes. Napoleons ability to dominate the region had been crushed, whilst Nelson was to become a hero throughout the whole of Britain. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints.

| Nelson and the Nile, The Naval War against Bonaparte 1798, by Brian Lavery. The Battle of the Nile, fought on 1st August 1798, was Nelsons first great victory and dealt a fatal blow to Napoleon Bonapartes ambitions in the Middle East. But the battle itself was only the decisive event in a campaign of many months, upon the outcome of which depended the domination of the Mediterranean and the whole strategic situation in Europe. In this book, Brian Lavery places the Battle of the Nile in its full strategic context, showing the interplay of military and political factors that sent Nelsons squadron into the Mediterranean in pursuit of the powerful French invasion fleet. This was also Nelsons first independent fleet command, and the author shows the development of his command style and the forging of the esprit de corps which was later to triumph at Trafalgar. It also provides a fascinating and detailed insight into the nature and conditions of naval war in the Age of Sail, from the strain felt by fleet commanders, isolated from higher authority and starved of information of the enemy, to the daily lives of the sailors and the tactics used in battle.
