With a neat tear to the left edge, evidently being taken from a larger document. Together with an unsigned printed 8vo catalogue for ‘An exhibition of autograph letters, books and relics of Horatio, Lord Nelson. From the collection of Morris Wolf, Esq. The Free Library of Philadelphia, 1934’. The catalogue detailing the contents of six display cases used in the exhibition. G to VG, 2The San José was among the Spanish fleet, captured during the battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February 1797. During the battle HMS Captain, under the command of Captain Horatio Nelson came out of the line to attack the San Nicolás. After exchanging fire, Nelson led his forces aboard the San Nicolás. While the English were fighting their way aboard, the San José continued to fire upon the Captain and the San Nicolás. The San José then fell upon the San Nicolás and their rigging became tangled. Nelson then took his men from the decks of the San Nicolás aboard the San José, forcing the Spanish to surrender. After their capture the ships were renamed HMS San Josef and HMS San Nicolas respectively. The feat of using one enemy vessel as a 'stepping stone' to capture another was afterwards known in the Royal Navy as ‘Nelson's patent bridge for boarding first rates’.
