Split in the cloth on the left shoulder shows where the musket shot entered.There are also blood stains on the tails and left sleeve - thought to be from Nelson's secretary, John Scott, who had been killed earlier in the action.
The garment is a vice-admiral's undress coat, made from blue wool cloth with a stand-up collar, button-back lapels, gold trim and four orders of chivalry sewn on the front. Nelson had lost his right arm in a battle in 1797 and there is a small loop on the right sleeve of the coat to secure it to a lapel button.
Decorations clockwise from the top:
Order of the Bath
Order of the Crescent awarded by the Sultan of Turkey
German Order of St Joachim
Order of St Ferdinand and of Merit awarded by Ferdinand 1V of Naples
