This is not a miracle. The noble french captains or admirals were killed by the french revolutionary freemazons. Viceadmiral Villaret-Joyeuse was a post-captain before the war. There was no educated french officer corps, so in the total the education of french naval forces suffered, and bottled up in harbours, moral was drownded. Additionally Boney made often a bad choice appointing fleet-commanders, he appointed complete losers as Villeneuve. Additionally Boney lacked the technical understanding. So this imperial fool sent Robert Fulton away. And before the Napoleonic wars, there was no real political will to beat Britain. During the war of independence, France and Spain had the opportunity to conquer Britain. Both nation's fleets were superiour against the Royal Navy at this time.

@@KroM234 This is not only your and my opinion. Numbers are obvious. To evalue the history we have to check political intentions. The Brits, incorporated by the RN, followed the real imperial strategy (copied from the Romans) to destroy all enemy forces. Till today, continental forces, at this time the Frenchies and Spaniards, except the admirals Suffren and de Bazán, saw warfare at sea more as a political instrument, as a noble hobby, and comparable to the Germans in WWI and II. The fatal error was to underestimate the brutal atrocity of anglo-american policies of permanent warfare, which was fairly copied from Augustus, who was famous for his pax romana, but who waged permanent war in reality. The big french fleet, which gave the US independence, ruined the french economy, which led to the French revolution with it's well known outcome. What guys as de Grasse never understood was, with a sunk Royal Navy the brit colonies would had become automatically french ones. The deGrasse' made useless enterprises and adventures instead to bottle up the RN in british ports and to kill John Company.

@@adamdubin1276 In a one-on-one fight where both ships could maneuver freely, maybe. But in a line-of-battle engagement between two fleets, the 64's advantage in speed and maneuverability wouldn't matter, whereas a 74's extra firepower very much would. As an example, the Indefatigable in its original 64-gun incarnation had a broadside weight of 497 lbs, whereas a contemporary British 74-gun ship's broadside would have been 780-790 lbs (over half again as much). While a 64 with a very well-trained crew might still be able to beat a 74 with a poor crew, it would nonetheless have been a huge disadvantage to overcome. A 64 could also function well as a flagship for a squadron of mostly frigates on an overseas station where there were few (if any) enemy ships of the line to threaten them. Although you could argue that they would be even more effective in that role if they were razeed into heavy frigates first.

The whole series of Aubrey-Mathurin books kept me sane while recovering from a minor stroke and injury.

That was a great video. It's really sad that the Droits de l'Homme's crew suffered such a tragic fate. They fought bravely even as the storm was snapping their masts, and they apparently had the good heart to release the prisoners they had on board even as their ship was breaking up. (In fact, one captive English prisoner on board, a Major Pipon, erected an inscribed menhir on the coast in 1840 in remembrance of the lives lost.) I know that's just one of the hazards of sailing, and war is full of such stories, but that doesn't make it less sorrowful. On a slightly different note, since there are plenty of stories of British underdog victories against the French, would you ever make a video about the duel between HMS Ambuscade and MNF Baïonnaise, AKA the only underdog French naval victory against the British in the entirety of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars? It's a fun fight with facepalm-worthy moments on both sides and it showed clearly that good luck in war only matters if you have the insight to recognize it and the skill to seize it.

well, you know, that was why Privateers were also so successful in war!

Drach my recollections was that the Spanish ships, as not having been at war when the action took place, were “droits of the Admiralty” as opposed to “droits of the Crown.” The captains received an ex gratia payment (a pittance by comparison) and the treasure was impounded by the govt.

Speaking of a " cunning plan ". This old Yank has always thought they should have had a Mid- shipman Blackadder on the HMS Victory with Stephen Fry as Nelson series. One more thing. Have you considered doing something on the great Atlantic liners?

I like that matelot's prayer about enemy shot being as equally distributed among the officers as would be the prize money.

Yes, a lot of this was used by Patrick O'brian in his Aubrey and Maturin series, great stuff!

Now that's a ship they could make a movie out of.

That was incredibly interesting and well done. The Indefatigable must have been a much sort after berth for many crewmen given her success in capturing ships. I can just imagine a sour faced Franch shipyard manager telling a new ships captain to not damage the ship before he turned it over to HMS Indefatigable. It's a question of pride in his workmanship to hand over a ship worth keeping.

Very informative, the general consensus at the time was that French ships were actually better designed and as such greatly valued by the RN, (although that's debatable). The story of the captured French ship Duguay Trouin, renamed HMS Implacable, is interesting and if things had worked out differently she could be today sat in the drydock near to HMS Victory: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Implacable_(1805) Aware costs to preserve her would have been huge but it would have been great to have a 74 gun ship, (and veteran of Trafalgar albeit on the French side), alongside Nelsons flagship.

Hi Love your guide series, but have to say you are slightly out re your talk on prize money. The prize money as you described for the ships and cargoes shared out by eigths is correct, however the money paid for the prisoners was called either head money or gun and head money. This was paid at the rate of a pound per prisoner and unlike prize money was shared equally between the crew.

82 ships and there has been boasting of a certain Navy whose best was 2 frigates, 2 schooners and 10 Merchant

with a pay out like that, I would have harbored rebellious feelings and would have probably became a pirate. Damn the Admiralty!
