Foreign Jack Tars

The British Navy and Transnational Seafarers During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Beschreibung

The British Royal Navy of the French Wars (1793â 1815) is an enduring national symbol, but we often overlook the tens of thousands of foreign seamen who contributed to its success. For the first time, this book explores their role in the Navy during this crucial period, challenging the very notions of 'Britishness' and 'foreignness'.
