It was nightfall when hell was unleashed on the sea.

In 1809, Thomas Lord Cochrane—brilliant, reckless, and already feared—led a fleet of fire and bomb ships into the mouth of the Basque Roads. The French fleet lay anchored and complacent. Within moments, they were in chaos.

Cochrane’s infernal vessels, packed with explosives and flame, tore through the darkness like phantoms. The French, blind with panic, cut their anchor lines and scattered. Many ran aground on the shoals—helpless, burning, broken.

It should have been a total annihilation. But the Admiralty hesitated. The full victory slipped through clenched fists. Still, Cochrane’s audacity—his refusal to play by the rules—etched itself into naval legend.

This was war as theatre. As terror. As genius.

Join Keith as he steps into the smoke and fury of Basque Roads, where one man lit the sea on fire and dared his enemies—and his commanders—to keep up.
