Nelson's famous victory (9)

I believe the answer is:

trafalgar

(Other definitions for trafalgar that I've seen before include "Public space in central London" , "British naval victory" , "Eighteen zero five naval battle" , "19th century battle" , "Nelson's eighteen hundred and five victory" .)

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