Cool!
“the name of Flamborough Head is as embedded in US schoolbooks as Gettysburg.”
Well, no. Not gonna be the tourists dollars they imagine.
Great battle though!
While definitely not given as much attention as Gettysburg, Flamborough Head was certainly embedded in my fifth grade text book, as were Breed's Hill, Trenton, Valley Forge, Bemis Heights and Yorktown. But maybe not so much today, with US history being reformulated as a tale of a country created from stolen land, developed by the stolen labor of slaves and sustained to this day by stolen resources from across the globe.
Agree. Too remote. Not surprised to hear this as the accounts talk about spectators watching from shore. Six miles away it would be difficult to see
Much. I hope a chunk ends up at the naval academy
