Hello, I am a retired English environmental scientist.

I am interested in naval warfare in the Napoleonic and American war of 1812 and the history of the Scottish Borders.

My ancestor was a Scot.^[1] He was captured by privateers and landed in Grand Canary between 1811 and 1813.^[1]^[2]

I have contributed most of the text of two Wikipedia articles: John Ordronaux (privateer) (1778-1841), Privateer, and John Ordronaux (doctor) (1830-1908), his son.
