I think he might have had something to say about the oarsmanship in that video clip, Kester!

As Anna said earlier, I think that modern communications would give him much to think about - he did rather rely on being out of communication with his commander - or having superior knowledge of the local situation. The idea of actions being commanded from the Admiralty would appall him!

Tony,

Very likely – and aren't the crew formed from the Royal Watermen? :shock:

Nelson: 'Why is Hardy never around when you need him?'

I had initially thought that she wasn't slung properly from the crane, but I imagine that she is 'nose down' due to her centre of gravity being further aft. :wink:
