I see no ships .....


........... only hardships.
                                                                                      Admiral Lord Nelson


A misquote of  Nelson's claim "I see no signal", 
 when he raised the telescope to his blind eye at the Battle of Copenhagen, 
and therefore did not see the signal from Admiral Parker that he should retreat.
