In this episode, we explore the great naval mutinies of 1797. This was during the French Revolutionary Wars, when Britain was fighting France at sea and relying heavily on the Royal Navy to maintain its power, security, trade routes, and global empire. But on British shores at a time when invasion of England seemed highly likely, the fleets mutinied at the great anchorages of Spithead and the Nore. The mutinies represent two of the most serious manifestations of collective resistance in eighteenth century Britain. It's a story set against a backdrop of tension and shifting loyalties. This isn't just the story of rebellion; it's a study of what happens when order begins to fracture from within. It's about what happens when people are driven to the edge and the choices they make under intense stress, when resistance and survival are intrinsically linked, like a ship and its keel. To find out more, Dr Sam Willis spoke with Callum Easton. He is the author of the brilliant book, The 1797 Naval Mutinies and Popular Protest in Britain which won the 2025 Sir Julian Corbett Prize in Modern Naval History.
