On the night of the 1st August 1798, the Royal Navy under Horatio Nelson clashed with the French off the coast of Egypt.
Fought during the French Revolutionary Wars, the battle resulted in arguably one of the finest victories in the Royal Navy's long history.
The two fleets were equally matched in numbers and guns.
Nevertheless, Nelson achieved a decisive victory sinking 4 French ships and capturing 9 others without the loss of a single British ship.
