Description
The Royal Navy at its peak was an enormous organisation, employing more people than any other in the world during the Napoleonic Wars. Its significance cannot be overstated, with many successful officers becoming household names and Admiral Lord Nelson cementing his place as the embodiment of the navy. This book explores the full scope of the Royal Navy during this period, using historical artifacts and everyday language to bring its history to life. From the lives of those who served on board ships to the naval terms that have become an integral part of our vocabulary, 100 Objects delves into every aspect of this fascinating organisation. By examining the objects, terminology, and people that defined the Royal Navy during this time, readers can gain a deeper understanding of its importance and enduring legacy.
