On this day in 1843 Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square was finally completed. It commemorates Admiral Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. One of the 18 African-born men that served at the Battle of Trafalgar is depicted on Nelson's column. George Ryan aged 23, is listed as working on HMS Victory. He served in the Royal Navy until 1813 when he was injured and honourably discharged aged 32.

The news of Nelson's famous win is celebrated annually by the Royal Navy on Pickle Night.
