This map should show the compass & wind direction, which was vitally important in sea battles at this time. The North is approximately up, the wind was light from the North West, behind the British Fleet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.121.20 (talk) 17:14, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


How correct are the positions of the ships in this graphic? The San Juan Nepomuceno was the 3rd ship behind the Santa Anna when the British broke their line, not the last ship in the line, according to the primary accounts.

Victory breached the line between Bucentaure and Redoutable. While that happened after the time shown in this graphic, it seems unlikely that the Victory could have achieved that from her position here. Manolan1 (talk) 22:45, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
