As tillergirl is mentioning the forum is slow. I thought a bit of historical trivia might be in order.
The Battle of Lowestoft has been mentioned as the least important and least remembered of all naval battles. I wonder how many forum members would be able to name who was fighting the Royal Navy and when it occurred.
Of course it should not be confused with the Battle of Languard Fort another naval battle from the same era.
And then from another era perhaps the most important naval battle ever won by the Royal Navy was the Battle of Gravelines. And yes it is probably more important in terms of Englands's security than Travalgar.
Our club on the Medway has an annual quiz night, I have been waiting for questions on this East Coast history as I may know the answers.
