Boulogne — 1805 Invasion Camp
Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A sailing fleet. Not a camp plan and not a likeness.
Overview
The camp is already on the Trafalgar Campaign 1805. By late August 1805 the Combined Fleet was in Cadiz — Spanish Naval Port. The army that had waited at Boulogne marched east.1
The Camp
This note covers that 1805 invasion camp only. A troop count, a harbour plan, and a German land campaign stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.
The Battle of Cape Finisterre 1805 already records that Napoleon’s army left Boulogne when the Combined Fleet did not go to Brest — Intended 1805 Junction. That leaving stays there. Do not invent who waited, how many, or where the march ended.2
