| | Collingwood (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Cuthbert Collingwood, a member of an old Northumberland family, was son of Cuthbert Collingwood, merchant, of Newcastle Upon Tyne, and Milcha, daughter of Reginald Dobson of Barwess, Westmoreland. |
 | | By Nelson's death in the hour of victory, Collingwood succeeded to the Command and, thus, in popular estimation, reaped a certain portion of the glory which, had Nelson lived, would have fallen to him alone. |
 | | Collingwood was confirmed in the command which had fallen to him by the death of Nelson, but the work had been done too thoroughly to leave him much opportunity for distinction. |
