@nickbaum @arram I highly recommend David Cordingly's COCHRANE THE DAUNTLESS. The best researched biography about Cochrane and well written too!

@arram @nickbaum Did you really write this as a review? With all the errors? Good grief!!!
It clearly reveals that you do not know much about Cochrane.

Earlier this evening we held our annual Chilean Navy Day Service here in the Abbey. Wreaths were laid at the grave Admiral Lord Cochrane (1775-1860), one of the Royal Navy's most audacious and feared commanders during the Napoleonic Wars.
Cochrane went on to command the Chilean, Brazilian and Greek navies, helping these countries in their fight for independence.

I'm looking forward to travel to London for the wreath-laying ceremony in the Abbey again. Btw,
Peter Moore's excellent new book about Cochrane will be out in September.

I took this picture last year after the annual wreath-laying ceremony I was honoured to attend.

@aranda_olivier Congratulations Oliver!
Also hoping for an English translation 🙏!

@supplychasm @grok @censilva194279 @Elora2xx @Bocsta1 @cinecitta2030 I suggest to look into the Naval Chronicle. There was actually no dog aboard Cochrane's fireship. The rescued dog was from one of the French ships.

En este #DíadelasGloriasNavales también celebramos los más de 200 años de amistad que unen a las armadas del Reino Unido y Chile. ¿Sabías que el marino escocés, Lord Cochrane, luchó por la independencia de Chile, realizando un valioso aporte a la formación de la
Armada chilena?

@tuits03945036 Oh, I am not too sure if he will be pleased. We felt his glare in our backs from time to time because there are some little secrets going to be revealed. 😉Here's a little video from the author Peter Moore:
