EPiSODE SUMMARY
Historian and sailor Dan Snow presents the second
episode in this four-part series examining the
remarkable story of how the country's greatest
institution - her Navy - has shaped her history. In The
Golden Ocean, Snow charts the period from 1690 to 1759
and reveals how England - soon to be Britain - and her
Navy rose from the depths of military and economic
disaster to achieve global supremacy.
In 1690, France ruled the waves and the Royal Navy was
in tatters. King William III had taken England into a
disastrous war against the most powerful country in
Europe. If England was to survive, it needed a new Navy
one capable of carrying the fight to its enemies
anywhere in the world.
To achieve this would require a national effort unlike
anything that had been seen before. King William III's
determination to achieve mastery of the seas unleashed
a chain reaction of revolutions in finance, industry
and agriculture which reshaped the landscape and
created the country's first great credit boom. Fifty
years before the Industrial Revolution, the Royal Navy
became the engine of global change, propelling Britain
into the modern world.
It had the desired effect at sea. By 1759, French
forces around the world were capitulating to Britain's
superior Navy. For the first time in her history,
Britannia really did rule the waves.
