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. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before British sailors were calling rum Nelson’s blood.
