The 1805 Club’s Education Programme

Since its inception, education has been a key aim of The 1805 Club, with the purpose of broadening public knowledge of the navies of the long eighteenth century and of the career of Horatio, Lord Nelson. 

An important component of the education offer of the 1805 club continues to be the publication annually of wide-ranging original research in the trafalgar chronicle.  this journal is free to members or can be purchased online.

Admiral Lord Nelson School

The Club continues to maintain its links with Admiral Lord Nelson School in Portsmouth and every year since 2005 has sponsored the annual Endeavour Award, which is presented to the student who each year achieves most through adversity. A member attends the school's Prize-Giving to present the award in person.  The school is also now the home of the Dr Colin White Memorial Library – all of our founding chairman’s books on Nelson, which he bequeathed to The 1805 Club.
