You may be interested to learn that my new book was
launched last week. " Commander of the Karteria. Honoured
in Greece - Unknown at Home" is the history of a remarkable man
born in rural
Leicestershire at Willesley Hall near Ashby
de la Zouch to a privilidged and aristocratic family. At the age
of 11 Frank Abney Hastings
joined the Royal Navy and remarkably participated in the Battle
of Trafalgar. By the age of 18 he had his own
command! He later lost his life fighting against the Turks in the
Greek War of Independence.
He was responsible
for the construction and command of KARTERIA the first ship of the
Hellenic Navy and the first ever steamship in the world used in battle.
His untimely death at the age of 34 was a blow to the Greek cause, but nearly
220 years later he is still remembered there with affection and
gratitude.
The book is now
available in both hardback and paperback through all major booksellers,
and may also be ordered as signed, numbered limited first edition direct from
the author on www.captainfrank.co.uk .

Καλό είναι όποιος θέλει να διατηρεί την ανωνυμία του να χρησιμοποιεί ένα ψευδώνυμο έτσι ώστε σε περίπτωση διαλόγου, να γίνεται αντιληπτό ποιος είπε τι. Κάθε σχόλιο το οποίο είναι υβριστικό η εμπαθές, θα διαγράφεται αυτομάτως.
