Title: All at Sea - Fleet Build, Battle of Camperdown, Part Three
Post by: carojon on 10 November 2023, 09:23:12 PM

Work has progressed on my project to realise the Battle of Camperdown in 1:700 scale with the addition of three British 74-gun third rates, part of Vice-Admiral Onslow's Leeward Division and including his flagship, HMS Monarch.

In the post, as well as looking at the careers of the three ships featured, Monarch, Russell and Montagu, I take a look at the career of Admiral Onslow prior to the battle and the signal book in use by the British, Lord Howe's signals that he perfected prior to the Glorious First of June.
