Boarding the San Nicolas by Chris Collingwood. [Original Painting]

Nelson's sailors and marines board the San Nicolas and during heavy hand to hand fighting capture the ship. Nelson drives HMS Captain onto the Spanish vessel in order that she can be boarded and taken as a prize, the British marines and men scrambling up the Captain's bowsprit to use it as a bridge. The San Nicolas then fouled the Spanish three-decker San Joseph, allowing Nelson and his men to take both ships as prizes in a single manoeuvre.
