A 45 min presentation on a War of the 1700's that has mostly slipped from general memory, excepting its school kid comical reference. (Available from January 2026) Unusual in its context and disappointing in its results, it was however an important part of the British Naval Heritage and persona and had many longer lasting implications for our Country.
