1805 Dispatches #20.01 June 2020 3 of 5 For three decades, the Trafalgar Chronicle has been the flagship scholarly publication of The 1805 Club, a non-profit organisation with an international membership. The mission of The 1805 Club is to preserve the history, heritage, memorials, and monuments of the Royal Navy during the Georgian Era (sometimes called Nelson’s Navy) from approximately 1714 to 1837. The Trafalgar Chronicle is an essential component of that mission. It is published annually by Seaforth Publishing, which maintains a global readership. For the 2021 edition, the editors seek carefully-researched articles on ‘Georgian Navy Encounters with Indigenous Cultures and Enslaved Populations’. We want research and analysis of how the Georgian Navy interacted with, influenced, and was influenced by native populations and enslaved people. Contributors are invited to address and analyse encounters among and between individuals and groups and to consider the long-term effects of these encounters, positive and negative. Additional Topics: We are also interested in general interest articles with some unique perspective on the Georgian Navy. We invite biographical articles, articles about major wars, battles at sea, and technological advances in the Age of Sail. We also welcome reports on preservations efforts regarding the artefacts, graves, memorials, and monuments of the Nelson era.
