Typo in the book itself, I would guess (Amazon still hasn't delivered the copy I ordered). Thurlow was OIC of the 53 boat.
Typo in the book itself,
Or maybe not. Thurlow is said to have been OIC of the 51 boat.
Does anyone know where this is definitively mentioned - which boats were present, who was OIC, who was Officer in Tactical Command (Thurlow?), where they were on the canal, and what was the order of the boats as they approached. There seem to be a million and one variations. Anyone know for sure?
