Ah - the "ugliest ship of the line" which was "dismasted and forced to strike her colors and surrender" in Rosas Bay. I kind of recalled who Hornblower was but didn't recognize the ship's name. "Ugliest of the line" indeed. :D

 

The location is not in Spain, either.

The swimming expedition was on the French coast. :) Actually HH was more Cochrane than Nelson in the earlier books btw.

My notes don't cover the chateau, but I think you're right. Anyway, Marseille it is.

 

Congratulations and over to you, Andreas.

 

Mark Twain had this to say about the people of Marseille:

In Marseilles they make half the toilet soap we consume in America, but the Marseillaise only have a vague theoretical idea of its use, which they have obtained from books of travel.

Thanks! I never have been to Marseille so I cannot comment on that ...
