As she navigates through the historical currents leading to the famous victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Tracy DW sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of African and ethnic sailors who played crucial roles alongside their British counterparts. With UK Black History Month marking the 220th anniversary of this significant battle, she raises important questions about how we remember these unsung heroes and their diverse backgrounds.

Tracy also invites her Listeners to reflect on the themes of unity and diversity within the Royal Navy and how these elements contributed to Britain's naval supremacy. Tracy also contemplates the lessons we can learn from history as we face contemporary challenges, such as the war in Ukraine and Middle Eastern conflict, urging us to consider how the past informs our present and future. This episode is a compelling reminder of the power of collective effort in the face of adversity.
