James Saumaurez was a British admiral, famous for his victory at the Battle of Algeciras (1801), during which Saumarez ordered one of his best ships to sail between two Spanish ships during the dead of night, open fire on both sides, then pull away. The strategy worked, and the two Spanish ships tore each other to pieces while the British ship was free to continue its attack on others.
