 Horatio Hornblower - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
Horatio Hornblower was the title character of a popular series of novels and stories about the adventures of a 19th Century officer in His Majesty's Royal Navy, written by C.S. Forester in the mid-20th Century.
C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower was largely inspired by the real-life British national hero, Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, as well as Lord Cochrane.
The portrayal of James T. Kirk as a decisive, often inspired, man-of-action was much like Hornblower, and both characters felt distinct unease when not on the bridge of their ships.
