		Many sea battles have been fought off this cape, and it was Horatio Nelson’s dramatic action in the 1797 battle of Cape St. Vincent that secured victory and helped to establish his reputation as one of England’s greatest naval heroes.
		The cape is named after St. Vincent, a young deacon in Saragossa during the time of the Roman persecution of Christian clergy.
		Vincent was cruelly tortured by the proconsul Dacian, then governor of Spain, but bore his repeated torments with such equanimity that Dacian wept with rage and frustration.

		John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent (9 January, 1735-14 March, 1823) was an admiral in the British Royal Navy.
		Nevertheless, he raised the discipline of the navy to a higher level than it had reached before; he was always ready to promote good officers, and the efficiency of the squadron with which Nelson won the Battle of the Nile was largely due to him.
		He was later created the Earl of St Vincent, and became First Lord of the Admiralty in 1801.

	Battle of Cape St. Vincent (1797)
		The Battle of Cape St. Vincent was an important naval battle during the Wars of the French Revolution, between the British Royal Navy and the Spanish fleet, at Cape St. Vincent near Gibraltar on February 14, 1797.
		This maneuver was so unusual and, in future, so widely admired in the Royal Navy that using one enemy ship to cross to another became known as "Nelson's patent bridge for boarding enemy vessels".
		Had the maneuver not worked Nelson would surely have faced court-martial, but in the face of its success and Jervis' acknowledgement that Nelson was correct in his judgement that the British line could not have caught the Spanish, Nelson was later knighted and promoted to Rear-Admiral.

		The Spanish fleet had already shown its unwillingness to venture northward from its own waters: the Battle of St. Vincent made it even more sure they would be unwilling to risk repeating the 1588 story of the Armada.
		Perhaps even more significantly, the way in which he read the situation and then acted to rectify it gave birth to the Nelson legend, fully as important to the English side in the war as the legend of Napoleon was to be to the French.
		Nelson was knighted after the battle; Jervis was made Earl St Vincent, two other admirals were made baronets and one given an Irish peerage.

		The battle began in earnest and after an exchange of broadsides the Spanish were prevented from turning back to rejoin battle by the bravery and foresight of Horatio Nelson.
		Nelson, who had pulled his vessel - the 74-gun Captain - out of battle line to block the Spanish vanguard now had to fight the enemy vessels on his own.

		The British navy had earned its reputation of her military superiority upon the world's seas; on even odds she was most certainly going to record a win, and often it did even where the odds were significantly against it.
		All were subject to a permanent reign of terror which ranged from arbitrary blows with a rope end, through flogging with the cat o' nine tails, to keel-hauling and hanging at the yardarm.
		With two great naval successes in 1797 -- Battle of Cape St. Vincent (February) and at Camperdown (October) -- Nelson was ordered to enter the Mediterranean and by May of 1798, the British fleet was sailing back and forth in the Mediterranean.

		Published to commemorate a pivotal year in the ``Nelson decade'' (the period from 1795 to 1805, of which the bicentennial is currently being marked), this brief account looks at the period that solidified Nelsons position as Britains chief hope in maintaining her position as the worlds leading maritime power.
		The author combines outstanding scholarship with narrative skill to capture the excitement of such events as the evacuation of Elba, the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, the blockade of Cadiz, and the attack on Tenerife (in which Nelson lost his arm).
		White also debunks many of the myths that have surrounded Nelson over the years, such as his supposed disobedience at the Battle of Cape St. Vincenta ``disobedience'' that saved the battle and won an earldom for Sir John Jervis, the commanding admiral of the British fleet at St. Vincent.
