Footnotes
John Conn was, as a cousin by marriage, one of Nelson's protégés. He was with Nelson during his last days ashore, and took out Collingwood's flagship the Royal Sovereign to the fleet off Cadiz. He was then given command of the Dreadnought when Edward Rotherham transferred to the Royal Sovereign to serve as Collingwood's flag captain. Included in the lot is a wound certificate signed by Rotheram, as Captain of the Dreadnought, for a wound sustained by Able Seaman David Arthur on 7 August 1805, during the Dreadnought's cruise off Cadiz prior to the battle: this being an example of a 'Smart Ticket', engraved on vellum, with manuscript insertions.
