I don’t have a history degree. And I’m not even a minor ‘celeb’ (which is frankly rude about David Mitchell). Guess my books won’t be on Lynette’s Christmas wish list! Oh well.

Saumarez preparing to leave Gibraltar, July 1801
Defeated at Algeciras a few days earlier, Saumarez returned to Gibraltar to frantically repair his ships. That night they will defeated a Franco-Spanish fleet over twice as strong.

😡MOVIE RAGE😡
Don't miss @ZwhiteHistory of @NRWGCharity tearing Ridley Scott and the Napoleon movie a new one! He doesn't hod back, and going beyond inaccuracy there's just a lack of sense

Some people will tell you that the Mary Rose never made it out of the harbour, but she was actually rather well travelled, at least for a ship in Henry VIII's fleet where coastal defence was more important than seeing the world...

We will be at Vintage Antique & Militaria Petersfield Festival Hall GU31 4EA this Sunday 22/10/23 10am-1600. Selling loads of books relating to the Napoleonic period at ridiculous prices. #peninsularwar #waterloo #napoleon #booksale

We're edging closer to the biggest Napoleonic release in years.
One way or another it will be an Epic given the Ridley Scott production.
But are people sceptical of the history presented or excited none-the-less?
Ridley Scott’s filmmaking is unmatched. See his work on the big screen in #Napoleon – coming exclusively in Premium Large Formats, Screen X, 70mm and IMAX this Thanksgiving.

Just astonishing - A truly wonderful film of an extraordinary work of art from the middle ages. hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/what…
A model of an unknown galleon from northern Europe -dated from the 1590s. Built to be displayed in a church, suspended from the roof so that it appears to float in the air above the congregation! 🚢⚓

Do you choose below-decks on your left or above to the right?
You can explore both when you visit the 17th century ketch Nonsuch replica at The Manitoba Museum - Winnipeg Canada

My next read from @TrafTimes has arrived. Will it be worthy of the shelf?
“Thirty two tales from the Royal Navy, covering the great, the bizarre, and the tragic…”
Initial thumb-through says ‘oh, yes’…
I will report back to you all afterward!
