The sinking of the French fleet

When the British knew the arrival of the French fleet to Alexandria to invasion  Egypt to be the main station for French forces and control in old road for trading in the old world so the English fleet led by Nelson in 1798 moved to Alexandria to fight the French fleet there.

 The English fleet was composed of 15 medium warship each vessel by 48 cannon and the French fleet is 13 vessels in addition to the huge barge with 120 cannon as well as three ships with 84 cannon.

Nelson was smart when he arrived at Abu Qir beach at night the French thought he would not fight in the evening as well as the French was not ready to face the English fleet in this battle but Nelson began the battle at night and use a new tactic in war battles, where he attacked the the French fleet from its back and siege ship French fleet commander causing a huge explosion and the killing of the French fleet commander.

In the end it was the seizure of nine French ships and sank 1,700 French versus 288 sailor English and besieged the French campaign in Egypt so anyone can dive in the waters of Abu Qir Sea can see the remnants of the French ships and guns scattered on the sea floor as well as Old French guns, pistols and currencies French which maybe gold or sliver and maybe you can find more than that.

This is a great treasure in the bottom of the sea for amateur treasure hunters and I wish someday dive there to see all that.
