| 1148 | Christians Fleet by Edwina Boult | A horrifying tale that is much more than just a story of a shipwreck. In January 1795 a fleet of some 200 Royal Navy and Merchant vessels left Spithead bound for the West Indies. Under the command of Rear Admiral Hugh Clobbery Christian they were dispatched to challenge French supremacy in the West Indies. Two days out from Spithead a huge storm raged and the fleet were ordered to make for the safety of Torbay. Many did not make it. Six were forced on to the beach at Chesil, another eight heavily crowded ships smashed on to the Dorset shore. Others were wrecked along the South Coast. At Chesil alone, for two miles, bodies of men and animals littered the beach. The plight of the survivors was ignored as the locals plundered the wrecks for salvage. Hundreds of men died and British hopes in the Caribbean were put back six months. | |
