Description: | Print. A commemoration of Northesk's role as third in command at the Battle of Trafalgar, in the 'Britannia'. Although the ship suffered heavy casualties and did good rescue work in the post-Trafalgar storm Northesk was one of those who failed to follow the spirit of Nelson's orders to 'engage the enemy more closely' in the early part of the action. While he was awarded the flag officer's gold medal he did not serve at sea again. PvdM 7/05
