Before the Battle of Trafalgar, the port of London transformed into a bustling hub for a global empire, serving as a launchpad for British military operations in North America and Napoleonic Europe. The bustling riverside parishes east of the Tower were a vibrant and diverse mix of sailors, soldiers, traders, and ordinary citizens who supported them. Lincoln's captivating narrative uncovers a forgotten maritime world, drawing from little-known archival and archaeological sources. It highlights the profound impact of war, including violence, smuggling, ship theft, and the spread of subversive political ideas. The book also pays tribute to the hardworking maritime community, including shipwrights, dockbuilders, wives who managed while their husbands were at sea, and the early trade unions that emerged. Through meticulous research, Lincoln unveils the lives of ordinary Londoners amidst Britain's unstoppable rise to sea power and its eventual triumph over Napoleon.
