Chapter 1: The Call to the Sea
The journey began with a sense of excitement that filled the heart of young Thomas Farrington. At thirteen, his life in Cornwall seemed small in comparison to the vast sea. His father, a former sailor, had shared tales of naval exploits, where honor was earned not through wealth but through courage and duty. His mother had resisted the idea of her son joining the navy, but Thomas’s mind was made up.
On the day he boarded the Victory, he looked back one final time at his home, knowing it would be years before he saw it again. The ship loomed before him like a beast of steel and timber, its towering masts and billowing sails imposing, yet thrilling. As he stood in line with other midshipmen, his heart pounded with a mixture of fear and anticipation. The Victory, a symbol of Britain’s strength, was now his home.
