Although the Battle of Copenhagen was a victory, it did not achieve the same level of popularity with the British public as the Battle of the Nile. However, Nelson’s reputation remained undiminished and objects associated with him, such as this hat which he wore at Copenhagen, attained the status of relic within his lifetime. This hat, given by Nelson to his sword cutler, Mr Salter of 73 The Strand, was displayed in the shop window with a black card cut out, which indicated where the chelengk, a gift from the Ottoman sultan, was worn.
