'We Tested 1700s and 1800s Royal Navy Weapons! (Pistols, Cutlasses, Grenades!)'
On 21 October 1805, the British Royal Navy clashed with the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies at Cape Trafalgar, northwest of the Strait of Gibraltar, during the War of the Third Coalition of the Napoleonic Wars.
On display at the battle was a varied arsenal of weaponry - from boarding cutlass’ to flintlock pistols and explosives. In this video, History Hit presenters Luke Tomes and Louee Dessent spoke to weapons expert and fight director Keith Wallis to find out more about the weapons and how they were used.
