Vice-Admiral and 1st Viscount Horatio Nelson was a great British military figure during the Napoleonic wars. He so brought out the best in his officers and seamen that his inspiration gained the name, "The Nelson Touch". When Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar, his body was preserved in a barrel of brandy for the voyage back to Britain. When the ship reached port, the crew removed their leader's body and celebrated his achievements by drinking the brandy!
