Jack Crawford

'He became famous in 1797 at the Battle of Camperdown when the Venerable’s mast was hit, causing the Admiral’s flag to fall – the customary sign of surrender. Crawford picked up the flag and, under heavy fire, which caused him facial injuries, climbed the broken mast and nailed the colours to it with a marlin spike.

'By the 1860s, as this book’s cover shows, Crawford was made over into a beautiful example of British manliness. Locks blowing in the wind, pretty face adorned by whiskers, his shirt provocatively revealing a muscular chest and shoulder, he practically pole-dances around the mast depicted in front of a Union Jack.'
