Where Nelson Lost His Eye?

When Britain entered the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793, Nelson was given command of the Agamemnon. He served in the Mediterranean, helped capture Corsica and saw battle at Calvi (where he lost the sight in his right eye).

In which battle did Nelson lose an eye?

One important and famous consequence of this claim resulted, of course, when Nelson, earlier, had raised his telescope to his "blind" eye at the Battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801 and "failed" to see the signal to leave off action.

Where was Lord Nelson shot?

This shot or bullet is the one which killed Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Nelson was shot through the shoulder by a French marine from the mizzen-top of the Redoubtable.
