The first of a new series of The Trafalgar Chronicle, the yearbook of The 1805 Club, it is the leading depository of knowledge about the Georgian navy with rare details about the life Admiral Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar, of the men great and small, about strategy, operations and tactics in the sailing navies of the era, not just in the British Navy but of its rivals and allies. Successive editors have widened the scope to include all the sailing navies, while a recurring theme is the Trafalgar campaign and the epic battles of 21st October 1805 involving British, French and Spanish ships, and 30,000 men of a score of nations. Contributors include leading experts in their field such as Professor Andrew Lambert from King's College London or antiquarians and enthusiasts. This new edition contains a particularly Anglo-American flavour, focussing on North America and North Americans in Nelson's Navy, with one article describing how the US National anthem was composed on board a British warship, and there is the story of the little-known American Sir Isaac Coffin who helped carry the pall at Nelson's funeral. Handsomely illustrated throughout, includes colour plates. 272 page softback, 14.6 x 21cm.
