Long before oil made Saudi Arabia a global economic heavyweight, King Abdulaziz Al Saud looked to the sea. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the ambitious but short-lived construction of the first modern Saudi navy in the late 1920s. After conquering the Hejaz in 1925, Ibn Saud inherited the ports of Jeddah and Yanbu, but he also inherited a maritime tradition dominated by British power and local tribal fleets. We trace how he attempted to build a fleet of gunboats and patrol vessels to secure the Red Sea trade routes and assert sovereignty against British influence. The story focuses on the logistical nightmares, the purchase of second-hand vessels, and the political backlash from Britain that ultimately forced the dismantling of this nascent force. It is a tale of imperial overreach, diplomatic pressure, and the quiet reality that land power often trumps sea power in the Arabian Peninsula. Join us as we uncover why the Saudi flag never truly flew high on the Red Sea waves during the kingdom's formative years. #SaudiNavy #AbdulazizAlSaud #HejazConquest #RedSeaHistory #IbnSaud #BritishEmpire #MaritimeHistory #MiddleEastHistory #JeddahPorts #Yanbu #NavalPower #Imperialism #ArabianPeninsula #Geopolitics #ColonialEra #MilitaryHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
