It is 1793. Europe is ablaze with war. The British prime minister
is under pressure to intimidate the French and dispatches a Navy
squadron to the French coast. To man the ships, ordinary citizens
must be press-ganged; Thomas Paine Kydd, a young wig-maker from
Guildford, is seized and taken across the country to be part of the
crew of the 98-gun line-of-battle ship Duke William. The ship sails
immediately and Kydd has to learn the harsh realities of shipboard
life fast. Despite all he goes through, amid the dangers of tempest
and battle, he comes to admire the skills and courage of his fellow
seamen, taking up the challenge himself to become a true sailor and
defender of Britain at war.
