England is on the cusp of its Empire, but as the Dutch trade wars come to a close, so the struggles with the French for naval supremacy are just beginning. The high seas are the most exciting place for a man to be, and Matthew Stalbone longs to make use of his newly-taught education in the Art of Navigation.
