In the course of a short October afternoon, the Combined Fleet of France and Spain, with 33 battleships, was defeated by a British force of 27 battleships off cape Trafalgar on the southwest coast of Spain. As a result of this crushing defeat, Napoleon abandoned his hopes of invading England. The Battle of Trafalgar chess pieces has recreated the atmosphere of this great battle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese chessmen are made out of Polyresin, which is a crushed stone composite. It has the look and feel of stone, but the durability of a plastic. It is truly the best of both worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing height: 5 1\/2\" (5.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing base: 1 1\/2\" (1.5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing weight: 3.8oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePawn height: 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack felted bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet weight: 88.4 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 Chessmen - 1 Queen per side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE BOARD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylish Santos Palisander and Maple veneered board features an inlay border and a matte finish that is pleasing to the eye and touch.
