  • Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar
    Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar Lord Nelson and the early years Horatio Nelson was born in Norfolk in 1758. As a young child he wasn’t particularly healthy but he still went on to become one of Britain’s greatest heroes. Nelson’s father, Edmund Nelson, was the Rector of Burnham Thorpe, the small Norfolk village in which they lived. His mother died when he was only 9 years old. Nelson came from a very big family – huge in fact! He was the sixth of 11 children. He showed an early love for the sea, joining the navy at the age of just 12 on a ship captained by his uncle. Nelson must have been good at his job because he became a captain at the age of 20. He was one of the youngest-ever captains in the Royal Navy. Nelson married Frances Nisbet in 1787 on the Caribbean island of Nevis. Although Nelson was married to Frances, he fell in love with Lady Hamilton in Naples in Italy. They had a child together, Horatia in 1801. Lord Nelson, the Sailor Britain was at war during much of Nelson’s life so he spent many years in battle and during that time he became ill (he contracted malaria), was seriously injured. As well as losing the sight in his right eye he lost one arm and nearly lost the other – and finally, during his most famous battle, he lost his life. Nelson’s job helped him see the world. He travelled to the Caribbean, Denmark and Egypt to fight battles and also sailed close to the North Pole.

(December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

  • It Takes Three Years to Build a Ship, 300 Years to Build a Reputation – We’Ll Stay.” Reputation Was the Theme of My Last Dispatch and It Reaches I out to This One
    2 THE CHAIRMAN’S DISPATCH “We must endeavour to follow his example…” n 1943, during the evacuation of Crete, Admiral Cunningham famously remarked, “It takes three years to build a ship, 300 years to build a reputation – we’ll stay.” Reputation was the theme of my last Dispatch and it reaches I out to this one. The Club exists to conserve the monuments and memorials of the Georgian sailing era and this allows us to delve into a substantial part of that 300-year period, even to its eve during the reign of Queen Anne, when within a few days of the October date of the Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell entered the history books. Returning home victorious from Gibraltar after skirmishes with the French Mediterranean forces his flagship, the Association, and three other ships struck rocks off the Scilly Isles on the foggy night of 22 October 1707 and sank like stones drowning over 2000 men. Only two washed ashore alive. The tercentenary of this tragedy nearly passed by, but thanks to the enthusiasm of Justin Reay, one of our members and Cecil Isaacson Memorial lecturer for 2007, the Club teamed up with the Britannia Naval Research Association to arrange a moving wreath-laying ceremony beside Sir Cloudesley Shovell’s tomb in Westminster Abbey. Over 100 guests attended the ceremony, which was followed by a reception in the Commonwealth Rooms at the House of Commons. (See page 9) The next day, 19 October, the Club was privileged to be invited to the Royal Navy’s wreath laying ceremony at St Paul’s led by the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Jonathon Band.

  • Chairman's Dispatch!
    2 CHAIRMAN’S DISPATCH! A time for wreaths Thus it hath pleased God to take from this transitory life unto His divine mercy the most noble Lord, Horatio Nelson . the Hero whom in the moment of victory fell covered with immortal glory. Let us humbly trust that he is now raised to bliss ineffable and a glorious immortality. This time last year I wrote about how the nation pauses for two minutes on 11 November and subsequently on Remembrance Sunday to remember its brave service men and women and how the period between the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Lord Nelson on 21 October and 11 November each year is a natural one for a wider sense of Remembrance since it allows us to relate the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars with today’s conflicts, not least he war in Afghanistan. In turn this resonates with Nelson’s call for ‘humanity after victory’ and the traditional version of The Immortal Memory, which is not for Nelson alone but for ‘all those who fell with him’. In other words, as Remembrance Day now embraces the latest conflicts so it seems reasonable to honour those who in modern historical terms also served and fell for their country before the First World War. They too fought for our basic freedoms and personal liberties that interestingly have their routes in Magna Carta, which celebrates its 800th anniversary in 2015 at the very same time as the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Moreover, their service, stories and leadership – not least Horatio Nelson’s – continue to inspire those serving on today’s front line.

  • British Identity and the Royal Navy
    British Identity and the Royal Navy Tension between a Fear of Losing Naval Supremacy and Pride in the Royal Navy Ida Marie Kristensen Master Thesis Lektorprogrammet 30 credits Department of Education Faculty of Educational Sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO June 2017 II British Identity and the Royal Navy Tension between a Fear of Losing Naval Supremacy and Pride in the Royal Navy Photograph of the Union Jack. III © Ida Marie Kristensen 2017 British Identity and the Royal Navy Ida Marie Kristensen http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract This thesis has studied the role of the Royal Navy played in creating and maintaining a common British national identity from 1884 to 1914. During this time period the Anglo-German naval arms race unfolded. Great Britain experienced a shift in threat from abroad, as France had been the major threat for centuries preceding this period, suddenly Germany emerged and began to challenge something uniquely British, namely the naval supremacy of the Royal navy. Furthermore, the start of the time period was marked by the naval scare of 1884 and ended with the Great War in 1914. The thesis argues that there was a tension between a fear of losing naval supremacy and a pride in the Royal Navy which resulted in increased public interest in naval affairs as the naval position was being challenged for the first time since the Napoleonic Wars. Therefore, a feeling of pride in the Royal Navy and its historical achievements had been allowed to grow. A common British national identity was necessary for uniting the different groups living within the British Isles.
