As a ship sailed into battle, there were mixed feelings among officers and men. Officers often thought about the possibilities of prize money and promotion, but one young midshipman wrote as he sailed into action at Trafalgar, ‘Should I, my dear parents, fall in defence of my king, let that thought console you. I feel not the least dread in my spirits.’
— Brian Lavery, Life in Nelson's Navy
