Récit de l’une des plus grandes batailles navales de l’histoire, synonyme également
d’une des plus importantes défaites françaises à l’heure napoléonienne.
Trafalgar, un nom qui rime douloureusement avec abattoir, brocard, cauchemar ou corbillard…
Pourtant, celui qui rend l’âme dans cet événement n’est autre que le héros de l’histoire, l’amiral anglais Horatio Nelson qui a donné bien du fil à retordre à Napoléon Ier et ses hommes, l’amiral de Villeneuve en premier lieu.
Une leçon pour l'Empereur qui se contentera désormais de conquérir le monde par la terre.

Alexis de Rougé "L'ombre de l'amiral; des cataractes du Nil aux fureurs du Jutland" ,(Balland 2022)

"L'ombre de l'Amiral" évoque la période entre le XIXème et le XXème siècle  où l'oon suit le parcours de l'amiral Beatty et de son jeune compagnon soudanais, Goodluck, le héros de ce roman. Enfant des collines Noubas au Soudan qui rêve de bateau et de mer, il est capturé comme esclave et emmené à Khartoum où il assiste à la conquête de la ville par les mahdistes (secte islamiste) malgré la résistance héroïque du Général Gordon en 1884.
Esclave, il travaille sur les bateaux à vapeur du Nil, il s'échappe et se réfugie auprès des troupes anglaises du général Kitchener où il fait la connaissance de Beatty, alors jeune lieutenant le la Royal Navy, à qui il sauve la vie. 

Le héros suivra ce grand amiral de la flotte britannique pendant 23 ans sur des navires jusqu'en Chine, auprès de la famille royale, pendant la grande guerre où il affronte la flotte allemande à la bataille navale du Jutland… 

Il y sera capturé par l'ennemi. Dans les ports allemands il assistera aux prémices de la révolution spartakiste avant d'être libéré. Il retrouvera son amiral pour recueillir la reddition de la flotte du Kaiser, puis assistera à Scapa Flow en Ecosse, à son sabordage. Traversant ces considérables événements, il ne cessera de réfléchir à son destin singulier et aux motivations profondes qui font agir les hommes dans ces situations extrêmes. Il finira sa carrière, rythmée par les navires sur lesquels il a servi, riche de rencontres (Gordon, Kitchener, Churchill, Virginia Woolf, Georges V, Nicolas II, l'amiral von Meurer, Howard Carter,...) comme commandant du « Sudan » steamer de luxe construit par thomas Cook, sur le Nil où il assistera aux événements liés à la découverte de la tombe de Toutankhamon, avant de se retirer au Soudan pour y finir sa vie.

The greatest lessons you need to learn often get lost. People are either too successful to share their secrets, or they fail too fast and their experience is lost forever to history. In today's episode, Andrew give's you a peek into how one elite UK Royal Navy SBS officer has changed his life on his own terms. And how he views money in a way that most people do not...  

After 7 months at sea, the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) has returned. HMS Queen Elizabeth sailed into Portsmouth Harbour a day after its F-35 jets arrived home at RAF Marham. A decade in the making, CSG 21 combines the capabilities of the RAF and Royal Navy to support global operations. Find out how the two services have worked together to deliver the Lightning Force and hear RAF personnel share their experiences of going to sea and maritime aviation.

In support of The Rowing Marine Lee Spencer, I felt it was pertinent to highlight the poem Tommy, which Lee spoke about during his interview.

INTRODUCTION

Ian and Gemma chat to Mike and Al who are Royal Navy Mine Clearance Divers based on the South Coast of the UK. They tell us about their experiences in the role.  Being a Royal Navy Mine Clearance Diver means you’re part bomb disposal master, part sub-aqua specialist. It is one of the most physically demanding roles in the Royal Navy and it’s hugely rewarding too.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said there was only one campaign of the Second World War that gave him sleepless nights, that was the Battle of the Atlantic.

The Battle began on 3 September 1939 and lasted 2074 days until 8 May 1945, when Germany surrendered. With over 70,000 allied seamen killed, lost on 3,500 merchant vessels and 175 warships. This was the longest continuous campaign of the war.

Matched against them was the Kreigsmarine. While German surface ships would sally out, this campaign is known for the u-boats that would prey upon allied convoys.

Joining me today is Brian Walter, a retired army officer, recipient of the Excellence in Military History Award from the US Army Center for Military History and the Association of the United States Army. Brian is the Author of The Longest Campaign: Britain’s Maritime Struggle in the Atlantic and Northwest Europe, 1939-45.

Roud 15 is called "The Cruel Ship's Carpenter," but if you know it, it would probably be as "Pretty Polly." And old English song about a brutal, calculated murder which became an American bluegrass standard, this song has a well-traced history behind it.

In this episode, I bring along Paul Slade of http://www.planetslade.com/ to talk about it with me.
