BONUS Episode: Trafalgar Night
Manage episode 344790770 series 2845607
Every year, on October 28th, the Royal Navy celebrates Admiral Nelson’s most famous victory. But, what if Nelson had lost? And how can we celebrate this night?
I draw upon three books:
- ‘The Rise and Fall of the British Empire’ by Lawrence James
- ‘Empire of the Seas: How the Navy Forged the Modern World’ by Brian Lavery
- ‘HMS Victory’ by Peter Goodwin
I also recommend the movie ‘Master and Commander’ (2003), the TV show Hornblower (1998-2003), and the classic clip (on Youtube) of John Noakes cleaning Nelson’s Column for the children’s TV show ‘Blue Peter’.
My ‘Recommended Rabbit Hole’: Lord Cochrane. Just start with Google, see where it takes you, and let me know if you found it as fascinating as I do.
