The Royal Marines are one of the oldest and most storied units in British military history. But while they go back to the 17th Century (in a way, at least!) they really only became ROYAL in 1802, during the Napoleonic Wars! What made the Marines so important to receive this distinction? What role were they fulfilling in Nelson's Navy, and how did they go about this duty? In this video, I discuss the duties of the Napoleonic-era's Royal Marines both on and off-ship, as well as their recruitment, training, and organisation.

If you'd like to learn more, all of my information in this video came from this book. It's an amazing resource with tons of information on the Royal Marines, and every other element of 18th C. naval life: https://amzn.to/40hr0hE

My website also has a few documents and memoirs regarding the Royal Marines of this period in the library section!
