The British had thirteen [[ship of the line|ships of the line]], plus eight British dragons and four loaned by the Turks.  The French had 17 ships and 14 dragons, and thus numerical superiority, but Nelson's superior tactics won the day.  Only two French ships and two frigates were able to escape, the rest were burned or captured.
