The Battle of Trafalgar was a naval engagement that took place on 21 October 1805 between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). As part of Napoleon's plans to invade the United Kingdom, the French and Spanish fleets combined to take control of the English Channel and provide the Grande Armée safe passage. The allied fleet, under the command of the French admiral, Pierre-Charles Villeneuve, sailed from the port of Cádiz in the south of Spain on 18 October 1805. They encountered the British fleet under Lord Nelson, recently assembled to meet this threat, in the Atlantic Ocean along the southwest coast of Spain, off Cape Trafalgar.
Nelson was outnumbered, with 27 British ships of the line to 33 allied ships including the largest warship in either fleet, the Spanish Santísima Trinidad. To address this imbalance, Nelson sailed his fleet directly at the allied battle line's flank, hoping to break the line into pieces. Villeneuve had worried that Nelson might attempt this tactic, but for various reasons, failed to prepare for it. The plan worked almost perfectly; Nelson's columns split the Franco-Spanish fleet in three, isolating the rear half from Villeneuve's flag aboard Bucentaure. The allied vanguard sailed off while it attempted to turn around, giving the British temporary superiority over the remainder of their fleet. In the ensuing fierce battle 20 allied ships were lost, while the British lost none.
The offensive exposed the leading British ships to intense crossfire as they approached the Franco-Spanish lines. Nelson's own HMS Victory led the front column and was almost knocked out of action. Nelson was shot by a French musketeer during the battle, and died shortly before it ended. Villeneuve was captured along with his flagship Bucentaure. He attended Nelson's funeral while a captive on parole in Britain. The senior Spanish fleet officer, Admiral Federico Gravina, escaped with the surviving third of the Franco-Spanish fleet; he died five months later of wounds sustained during the battle. The victory confirmed British naval supremacy, and was achieved in part through Nelson's departure from prevailing naval tactical orthodoxy.
Against Nelson, Vice-Admiral Villeneuve, sailing on his flagship Bucentaure, fielded 33 ships of the line, including some of the largest in the world at the time. The Spanish contributed four first-rates to the fleet – three of these ships, one at 130 guns (Santísima Trinidad) and two at 112 guns (Príncipe de Asturias, Santa Ana), were much larger than anything under Nelson's command. The fourth first-rate carried 100 guns. The fleet had six 80 gun third-rates, (four French and two Spanish), and one Spanish 64 gun third-rate. The remaining 22 third-rates were 74 gun vessels, of which 14 were French and eight Spanish. In total, the Spanish contributed 15 ships of the line and the French 18 along with some 30000 men and marines manning 2632 cannons. The fleet also included five 40 gun frigates and two 18 gun brigs, all French.
The prevailing tactical orthodoxy at the time involved manoeuvring to approach the enemy fleet in a single line of battle and then engaging broadside in parallel lines. In previous times, fleets had usually engaged in a mixed mêlée of chaotic one-on-one battles. One reason for the development of the line of battle formation was to facilitate control of the fleet: if all the ships were in line, signalling during battle became possible. The line also allowed either side to disengage by breaking away in formation; if the opponent chose to continue, their line would be broken as well. This often led to inconclusive battles, or allowed the losing side to minimise its losses. Facing a numerically superior Franco-Spanish line, Nelson wanted to break it into a chaotic mêlée which would force the enemy to fight his well-trained crews ship to ship.
Nelson's solution was to cut the opposing line in three.
Approaching in two columns sailing perpendicular to the enemy's line, one towards the centre of the opposing line and one towards the trailing end, his ships would surround the middle third, and force them to fight to the end. Nelson hoped specifically to cut the line just in front of the French flagship, Bucentaure; the isolated ships in front of the break would not be able to see the flagship's signals, which he hoped would take them out of combat while they re-formed. This echoed the tactics used by Admiral Duncan at the Battle of Camperdown and Admiral Jervis at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, both in 1797.
His plan had three principal advantages: Firstly the British fleet would close with the Franco-Spanish as quickly as possible, preventing their escape. Second, it would quickly bring on a mêlée and frantic battle by breaking the Franco-Spanish line and inducing a series of individual ship-to-ship actions, in which the British knew they were likely to prevail.
Nelson knew that the superior seamanship, faster gunnery and better morale of his crews were great advantages. Third, it would bring a decisive concentration on the rear of the Franco-Spanish fleet. The ships in the van of the enemy fleet would have to turn back to support the rear, which would take a long time. Additionally, once the Franco-Spanish line had been broken, their ships would be relatively defenceless against powerful broadsides from the British fleet, and it would take them a long time to reposition to return fire.

The Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused, unless the Customer is a Consumer.

The Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted Delivery Date upon giving reasonable notice to the Customer.
7.3 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods for any reason, the Seller's liability shall be limited to the Purchase Price of the Goods, unless the Customer is a Consumer. This limit represents the Seller’s total liability for any losses in connection with or arising out of the Contract and the Customer’s attention is specifically drawn to the fact that no consequential loss of any kind is recoverable. All liability is excluded except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Seller’s negligence.
7.4 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, any failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
7.5 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Customer's reasonable control or by reason of the Seller's fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may:
7.5.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Customer for the reasonable costs (including insurance, unless the Customer is a Consumer) of storage; or

8.1.1 in the case of Goods to be delivered at the Seller's premises, on the earlier of the Customer (or a person acting on their behalf) collecting the Goods or at 6pm (GMT) on the seventh day following the Seller giving the Customer notice in Writing that the Goods are available for collection; or
8.1.2 in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller's premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods;
in either case, unless the Customer is a Consumer.
8.2 Notwithstanding delivery, the passing of risk, and any other relevant provision of these Conditions, title in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Seller has received payment of the Purchase Price in full, in cash or cleared funds.
8.3 Where the Seller has exercised their right under clause 5.2.2 to appropriate any payment made by the Customer to the Goods (or goods supplied under any other contract between the Customer and the Seller) as the Seller deems fit, title in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Seller has received payment of the Purchase Price in full, in cash or cleared funds, for the Goods. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Goods under the Contract comprise several items, title in each such item shall not pass to the Customer until the Seller has received payment of the full Purchase Price for the Goods, in cash or cleared funds.
