Aanvullende informatie

John Quilliam was born in Marown, Isle of Man, around 1771 and rose through the Royal Navy to serve as First Lieutenant aboard HMS Victory at Trafalgar in 1805 — effectively the ship's executive officer during the engagement. When Captain Hardy left the quarterdeck to attend the dying Nelson, it was Quilliam who held command of the flagship. He later represented Yarmouth in Parliament, one of the few men of genuinely humble Manx origin to reach such prominence in the Georgian establishment.

The 2004 issue marks the bicentenary run-up to Trafalgar, ahead of the major commemorations staged across Britain and the Crown Dependencies in 2005.
