Naval history is endlessly colourful and wonderful…

I highly recommend Arthur Herman’s To Rule The Waves

Thanks for the tip, Misha, I will check it out.

I am going to write a blogpost about the attack on London by the Dutch navy in 1667 mentioned above, and the admiral who led the campaign, Michiel de Ruijer. I notice often a comment I make inspires me to write a blogpost.

BTW you are younger and better looking than I expected.

It became a more general piece on the 17th century Dutch republic and navy, but our 1667 Pearl Harbor is part of the story.
