Who won the battle of Trafalgar?
Battle of Trafalgar
Villeneuve returned from the Caribbean to Europe, intending to break the blockade at Brest,[13] but after two of his Spanish ships were captured during the Battle of Cape Finisterre by a squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Calder, Villeneuve abandoned this plan and sailed back to Ferrol in northern Spain.[16] There he received orders from Napoleon to return to Brest according to the main plan.[17]
