THE INSHORE SQUADRON - THE BATTLE OF THE NILE

The Goliath and the Zealous (top of picture) approach the anchored French fleet as the Inshore Squadron  commemorates the Battle of the Nile with its full first scale re-enactment. Soon the Goliath will swing round the head of the anchored line in the manoeuvre that will doom the French to destruction.

The Squadron was invited to present its recreation to the Nile 200 Anniversary Conference held at HMS Nelson in Portsmouth, and a year later responded to Colin White's Nile Challenge:-

Could a modern day "Band of Brothers" emulate Nelson's captains in a refight where the result of the action was undecided ?
