About this listen

Join me on an exhilarating journey through the annals of naval history as I recount some of the most extraordinary sea battles ever fought. We‚ll start with the legendary Battle of Salamis in B.C. 480, where Themistocles, the Athenian strategist, demonstrated that he who commands the sea commands all. Well traverse through time to the climactic Battle of Tsu-shima, an encounter that marked a historic shift in naval power from West to East, echoing the lessons learned from Salamis over two millennia ago. While we‚ll celebrate British maritime victories from Sluys to Trafalgar, I‚ll also highlight the remarkable achievements of naval commanders from various nations, reminding us that courage and skill are universal traits. Along the way, I‚ll explore the transformation of warships‚from the humble wooden galleys of ancient times to the formidable steel giants of the modern era. Prepare for thrilling tales of heroism, danger, and adventure, complete with insights that resonate beyond the battlefield.
