The Trafalgar Chronicle, the yearbook of The 1805 Club, has established itself as a prime source of information and the publication of choice for new research about the Georgian navy, sometimes also loosely called Nelson’s navy. This year’s edition spotlights women at sea and reveals many fascinating stories.
Even when the sources are available, women’s roles at sea and ashore have been either neglected or sensationalised. This edition of The Trafalgar Chronicle presents a set of objective, well-researched and authoritative articles by both well-known authors and some carefully refereed first-time writers.
