In 1805, when he was 19 years old, on October 21st, Lord Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets in the Battle of Trafalgar in Spain. 33 British ships fought 41 ships from Spain and France.

In 1846, OLIVER PEARCE was 60 years old when on June 15th, the Oregon Treaty - between Great Britain and the US - was signed.
