The French admiral's sword was eventually given to Admiral Collingwood after the battle and he retained it much to Pellew's disgust. Pellew was also greatly irked following the battle by the shadow of his brother, which appeared when the boarding party arrived on the deck of the "Bucentaure". Marine captain James Atcherly boarded the ship and encountered Admiral Villeneuve, who asked for the identity of his captor. Atcherly replied that it was Captain Pellew, whereupon Villeneuve pronounced ""It is a satisfaction to me that it is to so fortunate an officer as Sir Edward Pellew that I have surrendered"". The greatly embarrassed Atcherly corrected his mistake, to which Villeneuve shouted ""His brother? What are there two of them? Helas!"".
