For by this time Britain had made a further advance in the knowledge of naval warfare, and had found that the best, i. E. The cheapest, defence of her shores and her trade lay in preventing the French fleets from coming out of their harbours, where, in the " saving " French way they tended to be kept, prevent- ing the men becoming accustomed to the sea; while the British seamen, scarcely leaving their ships for years Nelson never left his flagship for two whole years were hardened, toughened, a...nd so trained in the manage- ment of ships that, when it came to be a question of handling ships in battle, they were easily superior. Thus from the very beginning of the war in 1803 the French harbours were blockaded. Some squadrons did escape, but these escapes could never be timed so that there could be any union in sufficient numbers to hold the Straits, nor with sufficient secrecy to elude the British ships, which immediately followed. The key to the whole situation was, however, at Brest, where Napoleon's main fleet was shut up by Cornwallis, who never for a moment gave it a chance to escape.
