Etrangers ahoy!

So our few ship's officers from the wreck of the Napoleonic squadron around the SS Revolution, SS Bastille, and SS Paris it seems have gone below to dine with the captain. All pork and bacardi-rum down below. Surprised to bump into Capt Aeneas in such friendly terms but his ship went down with most hands. Ambitious the french, but many do not go down with their ship like other nations do. Like the scottish ie, where Aeneas has been sailing this summer with his aide de camp Capt Pierre-Jean Montgomerie. Napoleon has had an expensive summer, having lost the SS Paris and SS Cap Vincente but he is ambitious to crash a fire ship into the RN port at Portsmouth. A tedious, gray and inconvenient expense to shore up Portsmouth all these years. Capt Christiane de Crispin has been out and about with Napoleon selling RN secrets of the Cinq Ports. A handful of lemons these french.
