From the transcript
Horatio Nelson was born in Norfolk in September 1758 and joined the Navy in 17 71 at the age of 12. He was soon noticed for his military prowess and leadership skills and at the age of 20 was given command of his first frigate.
Despite losing both an arm and an eye in battle, he led his men to many victories, but there are two that are particularly worthy of mention.
In 1801, at the Battle of Copenhagen, Nelson's commanding officer Admiral Park had believed the British were about to be defeated and gave the signal to disengage action. Nelson disagreed and sensing victory, he put his telescope to his blind eye claiming not to see any signals.
