They then describe Francis's and Charles's experiences in the Royal Navy, including their participation in the Napoleonic Wars and voyages to exotic locations such as the West Indies and Australia. They begin with background information on the Austen family and the naval world of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
