“On the same 9th January, aboard his new flagship Queen, Vice-Admiral Collingwood was on guard duty off the south-eastern Spanish port of Cartagena. Admiral Cornwallis, whose mastery had resulted in Britain holding and controlling the Channel for the past two years and keeping all French fleets — with the exception of the Rochefort squadron — successfully blockaded, rendering them incapable either of launching an invasion or joining Villeneuve’s fleet, and who created and dispatched to the Spanish coast the fleet that Nelson commanded, was sheltering from a harsh gale with his fleet off the South Devon coast at Torbay.”
