Though Nelson had won the great victory of the Nile in 1798, it was not untU 1801 that he was. gazetted viceadmiral again by seniority. He was then 42. The explanation is that Nelson was on the worst terms with the Admiralty. They even sent him to the Baltic as second in command to the egregious Sir Hyde Parker, who but for the "telescope to the blind eye" incident would have lost the battle of Copenhagen.
