Nelson’s respect for his officers and men, his understanding of their values and ability to build their trust, meant he had to be in touch with them. For this he used the mechanism practised in the navy that ‘any sailor could present a petition to the Admiral at any time – he didn’t have to go through a bureaucratic rigmarole’. ’ The thousands of letters that Nelson received and answered show his amazing ability as a communicator. Being a role model was key to Nelson’s ability to inspire, another fundamental of being a hero.
This was Captain William Locker, who became a life-long friend and mentor. A former protégé of the great mid-eighteenth-century admiral Sir Edward Hawke, Locker introduced Nelson to war at sea. Bearing injuries from hand-to-hand fighting and constantly limping due to a bad splinter wound, Locker taught the young man about fighting and set new benchmarks for his personal courage. It was Locker who coined the phrase ‘lay a Frenchman close and you will beat her’, emphasising the advantages of superior gunnery enjoyed by the British navy.
Promotion in the navy also demanded the resilience to survive malnutrition, disease and constant exposure to damp and discomfort, as well as the good fortune to avoid shipboard accidents and random cannon balls that came with every skirmish. It was important to be a survivor, and yet still to be prepared to take risks and make sacrifices – or to seek a more comfortable and less dangerous vocation. Nelson’s first ship was Suckling’s Raisonable, where he gained an understanding of the way of life on board ship, its structure and ordered routine, its hierarchy and its people.
