- The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies, during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). Nelson was mortally wounded during the battle, becoming one of Britain's greatest war heroes. The commander of the joint French and Spanish forces, Admiral Villeneuve, was captured along with his ship Bucentaure. Spanish Admiral Federico Gravina escaped with the remnant of the fleet and succumbed months later to wounds sustained during the battle.
- The Battle of Trafalgar was a battle that took place in 1805 on Earth between the British Royal Navy (led by Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson aboard the HMS Victory) and French and Spanish ships. A member of Jean-Luc Picard's family (possibly descended from Javier Maribona-Picard) served in this armed conflict. A painting hung depicting him, during the captain's Nexus vision. (TNG movie: Star Trek Generations) Nelson's signal was "England expects that every man will do his duty".
- Prior to the battle, the Player known as the Countess attempted to ensure Napoleon's victory by helping Fulton develop a prototype submarine, known as the Nautilus. With the machine limited in its ability to move underwater with the technologies at hand, the Countess had attempted to enhance its power by providing Fulton with an omega drive, but the Second Doctor was able to sabotage the drive and convince Fulton and Napoleon to abandon the plan (PROSE: World Game). The Tenth Doctor mentioned to Rose Tyler that he could take her to witness the battle. (TV: Tooth and Claw)
