_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. Successive editors
have widened the scope to include all sailing navies of the period,
while a recurring theme is the Trafalgar campaign and the epic
battle of 21 October 1805. Contributors to _The_ _Trafalgar
Chronicle_ have included leading experts in their field, whether
they are Professor John Hattendorf from the US Naval War College in
Newport, RI, Professor Andrew Lambert from Kings College, London,
or antiquarians and enthusiasts. Each volume is themed and this new
edition looks in detail at the Royal Marines and the United States
Marine Corps. The RM were founded in 1664, but their royal title
was only granted to them on 29 April 1802\. The USMC traces its
roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War
(or American War of Independence), when two battalions were formed
by Captain Samuel Nicholas after a resolution of the Second
Continental Congress on 10 November 1775\. Both corps have similar
duties, then and now, and in this volume there are newly researched
articles about their common roles in the age of sail. The main
piece has been written by Major General Julian Thompson, and there
are leading articles by American and British scholars including Dr
Charles P Neimeyer, the Director and Chief of Marine Corps History
at Marine Corps University, Quantico, Virginia. There is also a
unique autobiography by a marine who took part in the battle of
Trafalgar, the War of 1812, the bombardment of Algiers and the
First Ashanti War. Other issues are investigated, including
_Victory_ s true colours in which Andrew Baines, ?Head of Historic
Ships at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, describes the
research which went into revealing how Nelson s flagship looked in
1805. Scholars and students, experts and enthusiasts fascinated by
the era of the sailing navy will be absorbed by this handsomely
illustrated journal.
