The Capture of Bagur, 1807 by George Chambers

On the night of the 6th August 1807 (at a time during the Napoleonic Wars when Spain was still France's ally) Captain George Mundy of HMS Hydra chased three armed Spanish merchantmen into the Catalonian port of Bagur (also called Begur, near Girona) and captured all three, while also taking the port's fortress.

Everyone shut up there's a Napoleonic Man of War simulator

you can't control the ship directly you have to direct orders and its complicated and i am in love

also i nearly crashed the ship in the tutorial 10/10

@ltwilliammowett and i would tag everyone i know in the age of sail fandom but that would be a lot because everyone needs to know about this

A British sailor throwing a lance bomb from a Royal Navy Drifter.

The lance bomb is exactly what it looks like. roughly 15 kilos of explosives on the end of a stick, to be thrown directly at a submarine that has surfaced alongside a ship.

Apparently one thrown from the small auxiliary ship the HMS Gleaner of the Sea (a repurposed fishing boat) hit the German submarine UB-13 and sank it in April 1916.
