[The Colonel Pride Review @ColonelPrideRev]

Your latest grand colonial Adventure has arrived!

This video tells the violent, tragic, deadly voyage of the American sealing ship General Gates.

American captain Riggs smuggled Convicts out of Sydney and took them to New Zealand. There, the convicts soon wished they had stayed in Australia as they met abuse at the hands of the Yankee captain and death (and cannibalism) at the hands of the Maori.

Cockney thieves, escaped convicts, Melvillesque Yankees, adventurous seaman and Maori warriors; what more do you want?! Watch it now!

@inspidernz @TheSalesBull1 Some of the names are so good that they are used in both fleets.

@pstreetski Quite a few of those well-made Spanish and French ships ended up in the Royal Navy with four French built ships in the British fleet at Trafalgar, so thanks France.

British naval killing power in the age of Nelson.

Nelson’s prayer before Trafalgar. The last record, but one, that he made in his diary.

“May the great God, whom I worship, grant to my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British fleet. For myself individually, I commit my life to Him that made me, and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully. To Him I resign myself, and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen, Amen, Amen.”

@NicholasOShaug1 As far as I can tell, the only punishment that really significantly reduces recidivism is transportation to Australia.

The British Empire was the triumph of man over the tyranny of distance.

[Canadian Monarchy Respecter 🇨🇦👑🍁🇻🇦 @CdnMnrchyRspctr]

Nearly all of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia are closer to London, England than they are to Vancouver

This weird obsession with distance is stupid.

From the north of Qc to its South is like half the journey from Canada's east coast to London England lol

'Now the moment was fast advancing which was to Decide wether the Boasted Herosum of France and Spain or the Ginene Valour of free Born Britains was to Rule the Main . . . Death or Victory was the Gineral Resolution of our Ships Crew.' - James Martin, able seaman on the Neptune

Happy Trafalgar Day!

@_quincey Removing it was an act of historical vandalism.

[The Colonel Pride Review @ColonelPrideRev]

@Charvelman6 It's an integral part of England. Sure, they are a bit different, just like Scotland is not absolutely cultural uniform across the whole country.

[The Colonel Pride Review @ColonelPrideRev]

@aussiemelfan Sounds like a beautiful cross-cultural experience.

I'm looking for a free version of this film but I love the idea that all white people can be called "Captain Cook" in northern Australia, I hope that is still the case.

[The Colonel Pride Review @ColonelPrideRev]

@AngloChud2001 People just operate according to feels, and those feels are very significantly dependent on memes.

@NicholasOShaug1 I've seen this movie

[The Colonel Pride Review @ColonelPrideRev]

On this day in 1827 a combined British, Russian and French fleet under the command of British admiral Edward Codrington defeated the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Navarino in the Ionian Sea, bringing the independence of Greece from Turkish rule one step closer.

Captain Cook was a lawgiver from Mosquito Island off Papua New Guinea who defeated Satan.
