Extreme Voyagers 2 – the Next Generation
Our inimitable Jeremy Batch promises another excellent presentation. Any toddler who waved a flag at Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant [Spithead, June 1897] would have learned at school about the Wright brothers’ first flight only six years later. He would also, in his 70s, have watched men walk on the Moon. Within his lifetime, men and women would have travelled to the Poles, to the bottom of the ocean, through the sound barrier, to the edge of the atmosphere and into space, and several would have sailed single-handed around the world.
Who were these pioneers, and who were the shipwrights, designers, scientists and engineers who made their voyages possible?
