I found this fascinating . . . a news conference at The Explorers Club describing the search for artifacts from the First Battle of Tobago on the bottom of Rockley Bay (now Scarborough Bay). A description of the history behind the battle and the archaeological expedition itself was given by its leader, (and a guy who has already forgotten more about 17th century navies than you or I will ever know) Dr. Kroum Batchvarov of UConn's Department of Anthropology and Maritime Studies. vimeo.com/111105585 |

It would be an interesting 17th century naval battle to game. Just the right size. To bad nobody makes 17th century French ships. I think this era is more interesting than Napoleonics. The fleet battles were hard fought with wins and losses all around. |

I agree Dan. I'm sure someone will do it eventually though. |
