The Royal Navy Museum's official portrait of Admiral Viscount Nelson which is considered to be the best likeness of the great man and is typical in it's view of him from his left side. Britain's most famous sailor favoured this view perhaps because his most visible battle wounds were to his right. Nelson died at the of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 after being injured several times in previous conflicts. He lost the sight in his right eye at the Battle of Corsica in 1794 after being struck by shrapnel, he was shot in the arm while leading a boarding party at Tenerife in 1797 which was consequently amputated to avoid infection and suffered further head injuries at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 which left him with a sizeable scar over his right eye. Information has just come to light that Britain's greatest sailor only had half a brow above his right eye, so consequently the museum has acted swiftly to ensure their life-size wax work of the hero is anatomically correct. The 200th anniversary of Nelson's great victory against the French at Trafalgar is being celebrated this year with a series of nautical events called Sea Britain. Picture: PA
