Shots of people in 17th, 18th and 19th century costume at a stadium or sports ground. A man who seems to be dressed as Admiral Nelson is introduced to a young girl by another man in historical naval uniform. Cut to footage of large group of officials coming out of a building (town hall or cathedral?) and walking along, putting up umbrellas in the rain. Mayor greets a lady who smiles at the camera. Several shots of people in 17th century costume at port - could be marking sailing of Mayflower? More costumed people arrive in a large rowing boat and disembark. Young boys in old-fashioned sailor and soldier uniforms walk along cobbled street near sea front. Little girls and teenagers in white dresses bring up the rear. People riding on stagecoach. Costumed men outside town hall (?). Dramatisation of scene from 'Oliver Twist' with people in Victorian costume - Fagin clearly seen. Young ruffian picks pocket of well-to-do man; Bill Sykes threatens Nancy while Oliver protests. Mayor and other costumed people outside town hall, including man dressed as Admiral Nelson. Pan across large group of children in costume (sailors, soldiers and girls in white dresses).

Marching band in old-fashioned sailor uniforms move across grass, followed by girls in short dresses, skipping along and playing beribboned tambourines. Lord Nelson and others in costume follow. More of the dancing girls with tambourines (quite a limited dance routine, this).
Then several shots of people walking along in parade (through stadium?), wearing all kinds of huge, papier-mache heads and elaborate head-dresses. Some of the heads look rather sinister, with long pointed noses. Also clock faces and large cow heads. The cows or bulls lock horns and pretend to fight. On a platform in the stadium four girls in short dresses do balancing display and dancing / exercises in formation (looks quite funny as we cut from one pose to the next). Then very dark footage showing fires at night - not sure if they are on the water or on land. Seems to be a burning rooftop in one shot. Illuminated (burning) figures and insignia. Catherine wheel spinning round. Back to daytime: sailors turning wheel on platform. Mayor making speech (but heads are out of frame). More girls in tunics and plaits doing dance routine (looks like a hornpipe - quite funny). People in costume on balcony and making speeches. Float shaped like an old clipper goes past. People in small and large papier mache heads. Mayor shaking hands with Nelson. Parade of open carriages carrying officials past crowds. Others in costume on foot.

Professor John B. Hattendorf, Chairman of the Maritime History Department, the Ernest J. King Chair of Maritime History, and Director of the Naval War College Museum, focuses on the history of the Naval War College, its contribution to America's role as a leading maritime power, and the part it played in preparing aggressive leaders during the early history of the U.S. Navy.
Professor Hattendorf recently received the Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement and the Samuel Eliot Morison Award which recognizes a person whose public service has enhanced the image of the USS CONSTITUTION and who reflects the best of Admiral Morison.

Henry VIII Arms the Royal Navy with Cannons
Henry VIII inherited a force of some 15 ships, and continued expansion in great ships (e.g., the Mary Rose), with cannon firing through gunports in the sides of a ship, an idea taken from Portuguese and Spanish shipbuilding; infrastructure (including Trinity House) and facilities apace in expectation of war with France. In 1512 Sir Edward Howard took over as Lord Admiral, and attacked on 10 August, with inconclusive results despite a memorable slugging match between the English Regent and the French Cordelière resulting in the destruction of both. Additional combat in 1513 resulted in the death of Sir Edward, and his brother Thomas Howard took his place. In 1514 the 1,500-ton carrack Great Harry was launched, the first English two-decker and one of the earliest warships equipped with gunports and heavy bronze cannon. Henry also commissioned the Anthony Roll (now in the Pepys Library), a survey of his navy as it was c.1546, from which comes much of the pictorial evidence for his ships.
Henry VIII initiated the casting of cannon in England. By the late Elizabethan age (see the Aldernay wreck survey) English iron workers using blast furnaces developed the technique of producing cast iron cannons which, while not as durable as the prevailing bronze cannons, they were much cheaper and enabled England to arm its navy more easily.
The Spanish Armada (Spanish: Grande y Felicísima Armada or Armada Invencible, literally Great and Most Fortunate Navy or Invincible Fleet) was a Spanish fleet of 130 ships that sailed from A Coruña in August 1588 under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia with the purpose of escorting an army from Flanders to invade England. The strategic aim was to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England and the Tudor establishment of Protestantism in England, with the expectation that this would put a stop to English interference in the Spanish Netherlands and to the harm caused to Spanish interests by English and Dutch privateering.
In the end, 67 ships and fewer than 10,000 men survived. Many of the men were near death from disease, as the conditions were very cramped and most of the ships ran out of food and water. Many more died in Spain, or on hospital ships in Spanish harbours, from diseases contracted during the voyage. It was reported that, when Philip II learned of the result of the expedition, he declared, I sent the Armada against men, not God's winds and waves.
The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French andSpanish Navies, during the War of the Third Coalition (August--December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803--1815).
The battle was the most decisive naval victory of the war. Twenty-seven British ships of the line led by Admiral Lord Nelson aboard HMS Victorydefeated thirty-three French and Spanish ships of the line under French Admiral Pierre-Charles Villeneuve off the southwest coast of Spain, just west of Cape Trafalgar. The Franco-Spanish fleet lost twenty-two ships, without a single British vessel being lost.
The British victory spectacularly confirmed the naval supremacy that Britain had established during the previous century and was achieved in part through Nelson's departure from the prevailing naval tactical orthodoxy, which involved engaging an enemy fleet in a single line of battle parallel to the enemy to facilitate signaling in battle and disengagement, and to maximize fields of fire and target areas. Nelson instead divided his smaller force into two columns directed perpendicularly against the larger enemy fleet, with decisive results.
In the Battle of Panipat (1526), Babur's guns proved decisive in battle, firstly because Ibrahim Lodi lacked any field artillery, but also because the sound of the cannon frightened Lodi's elephants, causing them to trample Lodi's own men.
New tactics introduced by Babur were the tulghuma and the araba. Tulghuma meant dividing the whole army into various units, viz. the Left, the Right and the Centre. The Left and Right divisions were further subdivided into Forward and Rear divisions. Through this a small army could be used to surround the enemy from all the sides. the Centre Forward division was then provided with carts (araba) which were placed in rows facing the enemy and tied to each other with animal hide ropes. Behind them were placed cannons protected and supported by mantlets which could be used to easily maneuver the cannons. These two tactics made Babur's artillery lethal. The cannons could be fired without any fear of being hit, as they were shielded by the bullock carts held in place by hide ropes. The heavy cannons could also be easily traversed onto new targets, as they could be maneuvered by the mantlets which were on wheels.
