The Napoleonic Era of the late 1700s and early 1800s is considered the British Royal Navy's most lauded era in the history of the British Royal Navy.. It is the era made famous by Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar. However, there are other stories that haven't been told as frequently. Stories of valor, bravery and glory...and even sadness and despair. Enter YOU, a British sailor with merchant experience who was "impressed" into the British navy. You will experience the life and history of a British Royal Navy sailor.
All events and times are factual, only the main character is fictional.

My hope is that whoever purchased it would allow for the diary to be published in book form for the general public. As of this date, I've not seen such a publication. Nevertheless, you've done an outstanding job of articulating life on a frigate in the 18th/19th century. I'm now a very happy subscriber. Splendid!

This documentary of a sailors diary while serving on a transport ship in the early 1800's is fantastic. This young man that recorded his adventures, his troubles, the barbaric treatment he received from those above him was despicable and cruel, and that's being kind to these savages. What a tough life the average sailor had on board a early 1800's sailing ship.

They certainly didn't regard childhood with the near sancity we do now...well...depending on your class, of course. It's interesting these journals and diaries that have only recently come to light. A fascinating one is the Journal of Jacob Nagle who had a LONG career at sea from 1775 to 1841. And from serving in the American Revolution to the British Royal Navy, and then commercial ships thereafter. It only appeared in 1980 to initial disbelief until verified against service records. Not a wonderful life. But he was proud of it.

I mean, may sound odd but I attribute it to antibiotics, our as you said sanctification of childhood. Many, many children died before they were adults before the advent of a) germ theory and b) the aforementioned antibiotics. But it is very interesting. Jacob Nagle? 1775 to 1841?! DAMN, I understand why people doubted it's veracity. I should check that out, sounds very ineresting. Guy lived during the pre-napoleonic, through the entire napoleonic era, and even into post napoleanic and the very, very, very beginning of the end of the age of sail. Damn. That's incredible, I will try and get a copy of that. Thank you very much,

The First Lord of the Admiralty demands the old-established custom of holding naval courts-martial following the loss of ships of the Royal Navy in order to determine the circumstances of such loss, is being adhered to; whether such courts-martial have been held as to the sinking of His Majesty's Ship "Glorious"; and what were the findings of the courts. In the program it was mentioned that there was a rumor that the Captain had faced a Courts Martial. There was no shame in such a trial when the Captain acted properly in the commission of his duty, resulting in the loss of the ship.

Many thanks! Was unaware of the signal book having a lead cover for sinking purposes, until now. Any idea how long this practice was carried on?

Why is it called the "dog" watch? Because it's cur-tailed! Har har har! Arg!

I dont know if anyone noticed but Napoleon died on St.Helena in the middle of the south atlantic, he was exiled to elba which is just west of Italy, but escaped and simply waltzed back to france and took control of the army again, he was then defeated for a second time, which led to him being exiled to Britain's Island for people it wanted to forget about

Believe me I noticed...unfortunately I can't edit in hindsight...but yes that somehow slipped past me in editing.

Napoleon did not die on Elba. He returned to France and power, but got defeated at Waterloo. He was exiled a second time, now to St. Helena and died there.

I know and I mention that in the pinned comment...missed it in editing but fully aware of the history was just a mind fart when I was recording.

The diary of George Hodge is the one you’re referencing. Charles Hodge was a religious scholar and author of roughly the same time.

LOL...yes typo but got it correct in the source attribution. That diary served as inspiration for the first 2 episodes.
