Product information
One minute Jack is zapping aliens on his keypad - the next, he's fetching powder for the 32-pound guns on board HMS Victory. The year is 1805 and Jack, a reluctant time traveller, is stuck in the middle of preparations for one of the most famous sea battles ever fought: Trafalgar. Jack learns about life aboard Nelson's flagship the hard way; eating maggoty ship's biscuits, trying to stay in a hammock and climbing to the mast head in a raging storm. The tension mounts as the Victory advances on the enemy fleet, and the dreadful realisation dawns on Jack...Nelson's ship will be first to taste the French guns.Delivery information
