I believe the answer is:

nelson

(Other definitions for nelson that I've seen before include "Emma Hamilton's lover, who died in battle on 21 October 1805" , "Maritime chief" , "Naval hero who died at Trafalgar" , "grip" , "Lady Hamilton's naval lover" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
