词源	Nelson’s blood. After Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain’s greatest naval hero, was killed at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 by a sniper firing from the top of the French ship Redoubtable, his body was brought back to England to be buried in St. Paul’s Ca- thedral. The fabled hero became the subject of many legends, including one that his body was brought home pickled in rum.
