My brother went into the Royal Navy in 1946 and finished up as listening all-night on radar on the HMS Superb a Destroyer and heard wales deep under the water on the Med.

Thanks for the brilliant look into the subject of impressment during the age of sail. Interesting fact that you claim 50% of the enlisted sailors were pressed men at Trafalgar.
