Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Richard Cadman Etches
« on: Monday 09 October 23 15:15 BST (UK) »This may be a reference to his plan to close Boulogne harbour, in 1804, using fireships loaded with cement and masonry.I think now that the word is Cherbourg Harbour. Cherbourg was a very important military port in Napoleon 's time and it would have been the base for his attack on Britain. I was aware of RCE's involvement with Boulogne but Cherbourg is something new to me.
