Hi Ian,
I don't believe it can be Admiral Nelson as
The Maritime Museum in London has the shirt he
wore when he died (Trafalgar, 1814 ?)on display,
white with brown blood stains
Another interesting point about the museum is that if
you have an ancestor who was a British Navy Captain and
you give them 48 hours notice, they will pull the official
portrait (oil painting) for you to view.
