Trafalgar Square — London

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. Two British columns cutting the Combined line. Not a square plan and not a likeness.

Overview

The memorial placement is already on Cape Trafalgar — Geography. There is no major monument to the battle at the cape itself — the memorials are in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Trafalgar Square.¹

The Memorial Placement

This note covers that memorial placement only. A date, an architect, and a height stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. Nelson’s Column — London stays a red-link.

Nelson Horatio — Biography Overview already says Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column were built in his memory. That memory sentence is not split into a second note here. The sanctification stays on Nelson as National Saint — Trafalgar Myth.²
