The 'wooden walls' of the Royal Navy formed the country's most
important line of defence during the Napoleonic Wars, protecting
Britain from Napoleon's intended invasion. Vice Admiral Horatio
Lord Nelson, perhaps Britain's most popular hero, instilled
unswerving confidence in his men and led them to great success in
battle, never more so than in the Battle of Trafalgar. This book
examines the experiences of the average British sailor on board a
ship-of-the-line during the age of Nelson, including the infamous
press ganging, alcoholism and squalid conditions. These were brave
men, thrown into the thick of battle, held together by a belief and
a cause - to prevent Napoleon and his men from invading their
homeland.
