~~Video Description~~
The Battle of Trafalgar, like every other naval battle during the Age of Sail, is always portrayed for its excitement, heroism, and terror. But despite how incredibly important it is, there is another element of naval warfare and life at sea overall which is very rarely shown in our media...the sheer and utter boredom leading up to it all!
