Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail - Online Conference

Sorry, crossed purposes here I suspect Daniel. Phrasing was simply intended to convey that I would have also welcomed proposals for papers on Swedish, Danish, or Dutch navies as well as that of Russia, but alas nothing was forthcoming. You are of course quite right that the Russian fleet was operating far beyond the Baltic; indeed, one of the titles in the book series that this conference is linked to is a translated account of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic era.

Thanks for the clarification. The book you are referring to is this one, I assume: https://www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/northern-tars-in-southern-waters-the-russian-fleet-in -the-mediterranean-1806-1810.php. I have it. Good read.

Yes, that’s the one - glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Take a look at what is being advertised as a "major Napoleonic era conference " in another post. It is nothing more than a Brit-centric love fest with third-string presenters who are continually selected to say the same old/same old inanities. I cannot imagine anyone with any broad knowledge of the era from other viewpoints paying to attend.
