Abridged accounts of Royal Navy activities
2. März 2006
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This review is for Volume I of the series (1793-1798). It should not be applied to other volumes which were published separately and have different content. It particular, it does not apply to Volume 2 where it has been posted by Amazon (I have no control over that posting).
The title of this book is, perhaps, a little misleading. The Naval Chronicle did not start publication until 1799. However, it did go back, retroactively, to document earlier actions. This book gives a summary of major actions such as the occupation/ withdrawal at Toulon in 1793, the Glorious First of June in 1794, the Battle of the Nile in 1798, etc. It also includes various particular actions of interest such as the battle between the British Frigate Nymph (Captain Edward Pellew) and the French National Frigate Cleopatra in 1793 which resulted in Pellew being knighted. It is interesting to note the high casualty rate among midshipmen. Of the 23 men killed aboard the Nymph, there were 3 midshipmen and a master's mate.
The book also covers the actions in the West Indies, the occupation of Dutch overseas territories (the Cape of Good Hope, etc.), and various other activities and treaties. Additional information is provided on topics such as naval appropriations, weight of ships stores, and organization of sea fencibles.
In some respects, the book may be covering too much in too few pages. With 365 pages, it covers some actions in detail, some more superficially, and some not at all. However, it is a good supplement for those readers with an interest in the period.
