A plan of Fishguard Bay

After what feels like a long break, our regular website feature Item of the Month is back. For September, we have a military map that tells the story of a fascinating episode in the French Revolutionary War - the Battle of Fishguard Bay. This was an attempt at invading Britain, to cause national unrest and stimulate a popular uprising against the ruling classes.

The invasion didn't suceed. Find out why, in the full item of the month, on the museum website.
