Includes 11 portraits NELSON is the only figure amongst the great sea-captains of the Napoleonic war of which the human memory keeps any vivid image. The iron face of Jervis looks out on us for a moment from the smoke of St. Vincent, gloomy, stern, and cynical, and then vanishes! Collingwood, who led down on the Franco-Spanish line at Trafalgar in a fashion so stately, and in advance even of Nelson, and who lies in the great crypt of St. Paul’s beside his famous chief, is, for the general reader, little more than a name. Cornwallis, the hero of the tireless and memorable blockade of Brest, is scarcely even a name. Who remembers aught of Barham, the white-haired veteran—sea-dog, as well as sea-lord—who devised, almost off-hand, the counter-stroke that shattered Napoleon’s sea strategy and made Trafalgar possible? Nelson is the one sea-captain of the Great War who has stamped his image imperishably on the imagination of the English-speaking race. Whether, indeed, Nelson was in a technical sense “the greatest sailor since the world began,” need not be discussed. In the art of taking care of ship and canvas in rough weather some of his own captains probably surpassed him. In the genius that wielded fleets he was supreme! And in the great drama of Napoleonic wars there are —for the man in the street—only three supreme names, that of Napoleon himself, of Wellington, and of Nelson, and Nelson was as great on sea as his two rivals in fame were great on land. This work is an account, not so much of Nelson as of his captains—the men of the Nile and of Trafalgar. “They,” said Nelson, of a group of his captains, “are my children; they serve in my school, and I glory in them.” And we cannot understand the “school” without some clear mental image of the master who stamped his impress so deeply on it.

"They are my children; they serve in my school, and I glory in them" - Nelson (of his captains). Nelson's personality, his fame, his triumphs and weaknesses, are well known. Less well known are the lives of his fellow naval commanders who were his comrades and friends. Nelson and his Captains is a biography that steps back from one man to look at the people that supported him and leant him strength. These are the people Nelson owed his life to, and who in turn owed their lives to him. Among the eleven short biographies are: Sir Edward Pellew who famously defeated vicious Algerian pirates. Sir Thomas Hardy, who was Nelson's Flag Captain at the fateful Battle of Trafalgar. Sir James Saumarez whose relationship with Nelson was often tense. Captain Edward Riou who died serving with Nelson on an attack on the Danish fleet. Nelson and his Captains brings together a wide variety of sources, including excerpts from letters and captain's logs to create a clear and vibrant history from the Golden Age of Sail. Praise for Nelson and his Captains 'Thoughtfully and enthusiastically written in a simple yet pleasing, vivacious style' - The American Historical Review W.H. Fitchett (1841-1928) was a minister, educator and writer, who wrote a column for the Spectator magazine. He published works of fiction and non-fiction, including a four-volume collection How England Saved Europe in 1909.

Horatio Nelson's first captain was William Locker who recognised the exceptional talents of the young midshipman who was to become the most famous sailor in history. Thirty-seven years later Admiral Lord Nelson wrote to Locker 'I have been your scholar; it was you who taught me to board a Frenchman by your conductÉ It is you who always taught me to lay a Frenchman close and you will beat him. My only merit in my profession is being a good scholar'. Captain William Locker's career as a Sea Captain fighting the King's enemies on the high seas makes gripping reading and high drama.
