I Remember Nelson

Disc 1

Chapter One:Love
Nelson—already a hero after his defeat of the French at the Battle of the Nile—returns to London in 1800 to the adulation of the public and the suspicions of his wife. Aware of rumors about her husband and Lady Hamilton, Lady Nelson feels her man and their marriage slipping away.

Chapter Two:Passion
In 1798, with Naples beset by revolutionaries and threatened by the advancing French army, British envoy Sir William Hamilton sees Nelson as the kingdom’s only salvation. But the aging diplomat also observes his vivacious, much younger wife’s obvious attraction to the admiral—as well as a distinctly ungentlemanly side to Nelson’s character.

Disc 2

Chapter Three:Duty
In 1805, Thomas Hardy—captain of Nelson’s flagship, Victory—visits his commander’s country estate to help plan a final blow to the French fleet. There, the straight-laced officer is shocked by Nelson’s social-climbing new friends and vulgar new wife, precipitating a confrontation between the captain and his commander.

Chapter Four:Battle
Twenty-one-year-old William Blackie had a choice: debtor’s prison or the Royal Navy. Now, in October 1805, manning a cannon on the lower deck of the Victory, the young man and his mates prepare for the decisive Battle of Trafalgar and look to their commander for courage and inspiration.
