More from Steering to Glory. This is aboard the fictional HMS Splendid during the forenoon watch, 8am to noon, on a real day in June 1810. All events and people are based on actual historical fact, as noted in the author's notes, added at the end of the post here. This is copied exactly, with the addition of lj-cuts at suitable points - I have not edited the text beyond adding those in where the author changes topic a little, to make it easier to read on screen.
