Bronte Historical Society marks Trafalgar Day at Sovereign House Those interested in learning more about Admiral Horatio Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar are invited to Trafalgar Day on Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 at Sovereign House. The events, which are being hosted by the Bronte Historical Society, mark the 212th Anniversary of the famous Battle of Trafalgar on Oct. 21, 1805. Under the leadership of Nelson with his unique naval tactics, 33 British ships won a decisive battle against a combined fleet of 40 French and Spanish ships during the Napoleonic Wars. The battle changed the course of history, conclusively ending French plans to invade England. Nelson was killed during the battle. To learn more details, like how Nelson's body was preserved on the voyage back to Britain, residents are invited to come to the event. Based on the research by the society's Historical Intern Serena Holmes, and Volunteer Historian Betty Strong, the display material features aspects of Nelson's colourful life and the battle including a diorama with miniature ships. One highlight of the exhibit is an authentic original Nelson letter from Nov. 23, 1804 on loan from Nelson High School in Burlington. The event runs from 1-4 p.m. on both days. On Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. local historian John McDonald will talk about place names of the local area such as Palermo, Trafalgar, Bronte and others associated with Nelson and the battle. Refreshments, including Victory Rum Cake, will be available. Sovereign House is located at 7 West River St. Admission to the events is free. The Bronte Historical Society is a volunteer run non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Bronte's heritage and celebrating its past.
