1784: While stationed in the Caribbean, Nelson marries the young widow Fanny Nesbit. Ordered next to the Mediterranean, he engages in a string of spectacular naval battles: Cape St Vincent, Tenerife, and the Nile. The ravages of war take their physical toll on him, even as he gains the fame and honor he craves and meets the alluring Emma Hamilton.
