Summary "Our Sailors: Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work highlights the significant contributions and heroic actions of the British Navy during the reign of Queen Victoria, emphasizing naval engagements and their support of military actions. It recounts various naval campaigns, ranging from the capture of Aden to expeditions in China and the ongoing conflicts faced by British forces abroad. The opening of "Our Sailors" presents a vivid portrayal of the British Navy's operations during a transformative period in maritime warfare. Kingston sets the stage by reflecting on the storied history of the Royal Navy, connecting the past achievements of naval warriors to the contemporary deeds of sailors in a rapidly modernizing world. The text begins with the recounting of early campaigns such as the capture of the Arab town of Aden in 1839, illustrating the tactics employed and the notable bravery of the naval personnel involved. Kingston’s narrative quickly moves on to further illustrations of valor demonstrated during various conflicts, laying the groundwork for a detailed exploration of both the triumphs and challenges faced by British sailors during Queen Victoria's reign.
