Victory at Sea – A Tribute to Nelson’s Most Daring Triumph

In the summer of 1798, Admiral Horatio Nelson led the British fleet to a stunning and decisive victory at the Battle of the Nile, crippling Napoleon’s ambitions in the Mediterranean and securing his place in history.

Now, over 200 years later, you can relive that legendary triumph through this striking stamp booklet, officially authorised by the Gibraltar Post Office.

Issued in 1998 to mark the 200th anniversary of the battle, this commemorative set features five beautifully illustrated stamps, each telling part of Nelson’s remarkable story. You’ll see his famed flagship, HMS Vanguard, cutting through the waters of Aboukir Bay, alongside dramatic scenes from the battle itself. Also included are portraits of Nelson in uniform, his wife Frances, and an image of the Nileus the dog — a gift to Nelson from the people of Naples.

This is more than a stamp set—it’s a window into a moment that reshaped British naval power. Whether you’re fascinated by Nelson’s legacy or simply drawn to powerful moments in British history, this booklet is a meaningful and affordable collectable.

Just £9.99 (+£1.99 p&p) – a fitting tribute to one of Britain’s greatest naval heroes.
