@mozo73 You know it. You speak the language. Free speech. Naval power. Hold Fast. Forever England.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who bid the mighty ocean deep
it's own appointed limits keep!
Oh, hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea!

SEXTANTS, SAILS, SAILORS, EERIE FOG, and holding fast! best thing ever
-
@uafchris Yep, but Captain Jon Paul Jones still took over the British ship that sank him lol.
it was also that Naval battle that swung the French to give the USA full support.

@Dogmeat1950 Didn't the British sink the Bonhomme Richard off Flamborough head?
-
such beautiful music
-
@super8wannabe Ya lol. he was. the raid mostly failed due to very poor weather, a day after the raid he fought a ship and took it a prize.
-
@Dogmeat1950 Yes, another great commander. However, his Whitehaven raid didn't succeed as he and his crew failed to destroy the fleet in the harbour. Yet, his act did rattle the crown and so was a strategic victory. He was a mean bassist for Led Zeppelin in later years too :)



@Kingscrossbazzer England may have been "a small insignificant country on the edge of Europe..." before the age of exploration, but she always had one thing which would one day give her the greatest of strengths: The Sea as the only viable way to expand. And as an American, I am very grateful for that.
