In a letter sent from the Victory in October 1804 Nelson confesses to being seasick.

Nelson wrote the letter to the 2nd Earl of Camden to explain why his nephew had left the Victory just a few months after joining the Navy.

The previously unseen letter has gone on display at the National Maritime Museum.
Now the letter will be on display at Tunbridge Wells Museum.
