Nelson's Column is erected for the great hero Admiral Horatio Nelson. He was shot on the quarterdeck of the ship Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar. A musket bullet struck Nelson in the left shoulder and passed through his spine at the sixth and seventh thoracic vertebrae. Nelson exclaimed, "They finally succeeded, I am dead."
Some sources state that his corpse was placed in a barrel of brandy to preserve it on the long journey home. And that the crew didn't mind that his body bubbled away in the brandy to get a sip of the liquid around him.
