Has wild fire from game of thrones a real inspiration from history?
Yes, it is called "nitroglycerin".
Now, fuck off.
The closest thing I can think of is Greek fire.

They didn't use them at Trafalgar, however they were used against the Spanish Armada (admittedly 250 years earlier), but to little effect. Against the Armada, the ships the English employed were largely just fire-ships, regular ships packed with inflammable materials, not really explosive or especially destructive, their main use was to cause chaos in the enemy ranks.
However, some ships were loaded with gunpowder and used with the express purpose of detonating near the enemy and devastating a huge area.

I guess it's based on Greek fire, but far more potent. I mean, it's most likely a better explosive than anything our world can offer, magic is used during it's making.

Not at trafalgar, but at previous battles fireships were used. There was a big thing nelson was involved in earlier burning some french fleet in port on the english channel during the blockade. Maybe Boulogne.
