About This Item
US: Penguin Books, 1969. Paperback. Good. May 1810, seventeen years deep into the Napoleonic Wars. Captain Horatio Ho rnblower is newly in command of his first ship of the line, the seventy-fou r-gun HMS Sutherland, which he deems "the ugliest and least desirable two-d ecker in the Navy List." Moreover, she is 250 men short of a full crew, so Hornblower must enlist and train "poachers, bigamists, sheepstealers," and other landlubbers. By the time the Sutherland reaches the blockaded Catalon ian coast of Spain, the crew is capable of staging five astonishing solo ra ids against the French. But the grisly prospect of defeat and capture looms for both captain and crew as the Sutherland single-handedly takes on four French ships.
