Provenance
By repute, from a direct descendant of Josiah Nisbet, Admiral Lord Nelson's step-son (1780-1830).
Nisbet served as a midshipman on HMS Agamemnon in 1793 with his step-father and again as a junior lieutenant on HMS Captain at the battle of St. Vincent in 1797. Later he was instrumental in saving Nelson's life at the attack on Santa Cruz where Nisbet helped apply a tourniquet to his shattered arm and evacuate him in a boat.
