Our world has always been shaped by the bravest among us - those with a clear vision of the future and the resolve to pursue it, whatever the odds.
Admiral Lord Nelson, guardian of our shores and defender of our seaborne trade, was one of those people. A man who risked everything to protect Britain’s interests and its people, and who helped to set the course for their advancement.
Although his legacy has changed with the years, it is his best qualities – determination, courage, friendship, love, honour, resilience and sacrifice – that we celebrate at Lloyd’s today and honour in the Lloyd’s Nelson Collection.
