Welcome to Wake Up to Nelson!

Today is                     

This site is designed to help you to find out about Admiral Lord Nelson's life and times, life at sea in his era, the people he knew and little bit about HMS Victory. Although it has been designed with the younger reader in mind there's something for everyone.

We've kept the site simple so you can use it as a quick reference and we hope it will help in your schoolwork and studies. The Site Map below will guide you around or you can try the A to Z page if you're looking for something particular. Where there's more detail available you'll see the information sign that looks like this: information icon

If there's something else you'd like to see on this site or some useful links you think should be added you can contact us by using the email link you'll see on each page. We always welcome ideas, suggestions and criticisms to help make the site better for everyone.

**Special note for teachers, parents or guardians .... please make contact with us if you are at all concerned about your young person sending us email. We will be happy to answer you.**
