We are used to hearing about Admiral Nelson's victories, so I was surprised to read of an occasion when he failed. I came across this whilst searching for something else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raids_on_Boulogne

This was not the only failure of this sort by our gallant Admiral. he also had a couple of bad days at Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
