Who was Horatio Nelson?

Imagine going to sea at just twelve years old and growing up to become the most famous admiral in history—even though you were seasick your entire life! In this exciting episode of History's Not Boring, Mira and Finn dive into the wild and adventurous life of Horatio Nelson! Find out how a small, sickly boy from the English countryside became an absolute legend of the British Royal Navy. You won't believe what happened when a French cannonball blasted sharp stones into his face, or how he kept giving orders to his men just thirty minutes after losing his arm! Discover the genius trick he used at the Battle of Copenhagen when he literally turned a "blind eye" to a retreat command he didn't want to follow. Plus, we'll sail right into the legendary Battle of Trafalgar, where Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets from aboard the massive HMS Victory. Oh, and wait until you hear the incredibly weird true story of how they brought his body back home across the ocean in a giant barrel of brandy! Get ready for flying cannonballs, massive warships, and history's bravest sea captain!
