Everything about The New Trafalgar Dispatch totally explained
The
New Trafalgar Dispatch was part of the
bicentenary celebrations of Lord
Nelson's famous and momentous victory at the
Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805. The prolonged and multi-focal ceremony took place between July and September 2005.
An actor, Alex Price, played the central role of Lieutenant
Lapenotiere and recreated the delivery of Vice Admiral
Collingwood’s original dispatch (report) to the
Admiralty. The original dispatch was carried by
HMS Pickle from the fleet off
Cape Trafalgar to
Falmouth. From there, Lapenotiere travelled by
post chaise to
London, in the very fast time of 36 hours.
In the re-enactment, the specially-built replica post chaise visited various points, between Falmouth and London, many of them on the original route. Individual ceremonies were re-enacted at some of the 'stops', including Falmouth,
Truro,
Dorchester,
Lyme Regis,
Salisbury,
Andover,
Bagshot,
Staines and London, at each of which was read the specially-drafted message, emphasising the sacrifice and courage of the participants of both sides, in that famous battle.
