Another battleship captain, George Duff, who along with Nelson and Cooke was killed in the battle, is also briefly mentioned under his great-uncle, Robert Duff.
While there were battle-hardened veterans of proven ability among the Trafalgar captains, it has to be stressed that many were not, and that when Nelson took command of the fleet three weeks before the battle, he had many captains he hardly knew.
Some took service in foreign navies: George Rose Sartorius lived eighty years beyond Trafalgar, becoming an admiral in the Portuguese navy and admiral of the fleet in the Royal Navy; Frank Abney Hastings commanded in the Greek navy during their war of independence.

Worst among their findings was that the campanile was still slowly, but implacably, on the move.
Using the hundred-year-old measurements of Edward Cresy and George Ledwell Taylor as a benchmark, commission member Paolo Pizzetti, a geodesist from the University of Pisa, calculated that the campanile had moved an additional 20 centimeters in less than a century, bringing its variance from the perpendicular to a full 4.04 meters.
In addition, the water emerging from the foundation was bringing with it soil and mineral deposits, thus further undermining the terreni limosi.
