Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Three Dorset Captains at Trafalgar: Thomas Masterman Hardy, Charles Bullen, Henry Digby Of all the subordinate characters in the tragedy of Trafalgar, the personality of Thomas Masterman Hardy is unquestionably by far the most interesting, striking, and attractive. The "Kiss me, Hardy" of the dying Nelson has perhaps taken a firmer hold on the popular imagination than either the "Remember" of Charles Stuart, or the real or supposed "My country, oh my country" of William Pitt. Another of the "greatest sailor's" utterances during the brief interview which preceded Hardy's return to his duties on deck, within about half an hour of "his Lord's" death, is scarcely less distinctly graven on men's minds. It was, as we are told by the able author of Nelson and his Captains, the timely quotation of the words, "Anchor, Hardy, anchor," more than forty years later, by which Sir Herbert Edwardes steadied in a moment of supreme difficulty the iron nerve of the worn-out and over-wrought Sir John Lawrence. No sooner did the belated news of the battle reach England than the whole kingdom was flooded with popular mementoes of the great event which had saved her from the long-feared foreign invasion, while depriving her of her foremost sailor. In all these souvenirs - songs, broadsides, glass-pictures, engravings, or pottery - the favourite theme was that of the most familiar death scene in naval history - Nelson expiring in the arms of Hardy.

His Early Experiences In The Navy And Merchant Service 1778-1790] THE spring of 1778 witnessed the removal of the whole of the Hardy family from Kingston Russell to Possum. The eldest of Joseph Hardy's children, Elizabeth, was just of age and about to marry John Thresher, who belonged to another ancient Portisham family, established there some years before the defeat of the Spanish Armada by Lord Howard of Effingham off Portland Bill might have been clearly seen from the high land above the village, the leading inhabitant of which, one John Studley, had contributed 2$ to the national defence fund. Her next sister, then a girl of twenty, remained all her life unmarried, but the third and fourth daughters of Joseph and Nanny Hardy?Mary and Catherine?in 1778, aged eighteen and sixteen respectively, in the course of the next few years became the wives of James Balston and John Callard Manfield, the latter of whom was destined to become Thomas Hardy's legal adviser and the recipient of his confidential correspondence. Their two youngest sisters, Martha and Augusta (the latter in 1778 a baby), never married. Of Thomas Hardy's two brothers, Joseph, the elder (aged fourteen in 1778) was five years his senior. In after life he married Miss White of Cerne and resided at Charminster, where he died some years after the demise of the captain of the Victory. John, the youngest ofJoseph Hardy's sons (a child of seven when his parents went to live at Portisham) never married, and after he reached manhood farmed the Hardy lands in and near their native village until he died, on the 25th April 1822. If the childhood of Thomas Hardy and his brothers and sisters at Kingston Russell is clean forgotten as far as the dwellers in the...

Download or read book Shipboard Life and Organisation, 1731-1815 written by Brian Lavery and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea behind this volume, according to its editor Brian Lavery, was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society, notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91, 1951, ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107, 1965, ed C C Lloyd.) The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because, stated Brian Lavery, 'there are no suitable documents from earlier periods' and closes in 1815, when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained, especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy, ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages, often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time, and the ways in which they were fed, clothed, allocated space for eating and sleeping, at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations, Captain's Orders, Medical Journals, discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time.

Download or read book Nelson's Band of Brothers written by Captain Peter Hore and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a perennial interest in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars and in Nelson himself, there is no reference work that chronicles all the captains of his ships, their social origins, their characters and the achievements in their lives beyond their service under Nelson. This new book, researched and written by distinguished historians, descendants of some of Nelson's officers, and members of the 1805 Club, presents concise biographies of those officers who fought with Nelson in his three great battles, with superb colour illustration throughout. Nelson first gave the name of 'band of brothers' to the officers who had commanded ships of his fleet at the battle of the Nile (1798). This new volume will include 100 officers, ranging from lieutenants in command of gunboats at the battle of Copenhagen (1801) through captains of line-of- battle ships at the Nile and at Trafalgar (1805), to admirals in command of squadrons in his fleets. Of real significance are the specially commissioned photographs of all the monuments and memorials to Nelson's captains, descriptions with transcriptions of epitaphs, and clear directions to enable the readers to find them. Part travel book, part biography and moving testimony to Nelson's faithful captains, Nelson's band of Brothers presents the opportunity to rediscover 100 local heroes.
