		However, Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, who had succeeded to the command of the British fleet on Nelson's death, needed every ship and every officer to maintain the blockade on Cadiz and to get his ships, damaged by battle and by the great storm which afterwards blew out of the Atlantic, into Gibraltar.
		Admiral Collingwood's selection of so junior an officer was unusual. According to tradition, Lapenotiere had saved Collingwood from shipwreck and he had promised to return him the favour.
		In one of these he explained to Collingwood why he was about to disobey orders: “I have venture[d] to proceed, solely activated by zeal for the service, and in hopes to meet your wishes on the occasion, in becoming a security for the information of the Pickle should any accident befall her”.

	The Battle of Trafalgar
		Collingwood had originally been aiming to cross in front of the twelfth ship from the enemy rear, but just ahead of this was the Santa Ana, a 112 ship three decker and the flagship of Admiral Alava, so he chose to cross the enemy line to the stern of the Santa Ana.
		Collingwood appears to have escaped relatively lightly at this stage, his rapid speed meaning that he was only exposed to enemy fire for about the last ten minutes of the approach.
		Collingwood had seen that his original target was only a two decker, but just ahead was the Santa-Ana, the flagship of Admiral Alava, and so Collingwood entered the line behind her, and ahead of the Forgueux.

	Tynemouth, TWNT19, Statue, Monument to ...
		Collingwood, dressed in an admiral’s uniform and draped in a cloak, stands on top of a high yellow stone pedestal.
		However, it was not until 1838 that, inspired by the publication of G.L. Newnham's Memoirs of Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood, a writer to the local press proposed a large outdoor monument in the shape of a column, with or without a statue, on the western part of Newcastle Town Moor.
		The second from 'an ardent admirer of the noble admiral and an old sailor' made a similar point; a Newcastle monument would be nothing more than an ornament for Richard Grainger’s ‘City of Palaces’ whereas one at the coast would be seen by the crews of 'upwards of twenty thousand ships' a year.
