Birthplace of Admiral Collingwood, Newcastle upon Tyne
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
This is the place where the future Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood was born on 26 September 1748. He died on 7 March 1810. He was frequently second in command to Lord Nelson during naval battles in the Napoleonic Wars.
Collingwood went to the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle. At the age of twelve, he went to sea as a volunteer on board the frigate HMS Shannon. Collingwood sailed to Boston in 1774 with Admiral Samuel Graves on board HMS Preston, where he fought in the British naval brigade at the battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775. He was commissioned as a Lieutenant on 17 June 1775.
In 1777, Collingwood first met Nelson when both served in HMS Lowestoffe. On 20 June 1779, Collingwood succeeded Nelson as Commander of HMS Badger, and on 22 March 1780 he next year he again succeeded Nelson as Post-Captain of HMS Hinchinbrook.
After commanding another small frigate, HMS Pelican, in which he was shipwrecked by a hurricane in 1781, Collingwood was promoted to 64 gun ship of the line HMS Sampson, and in 1783 he was appointed to HMS Mediator and posted to the West Indies, where he remained until the end of 1786.
In 1786 Collingwood returned to England, where, with the exception of a voyage to the West Indies, he remained until 1793. In that year, he was appointed captain of HMS Prince, the flagship of Rear Admiral George Bowyer in the Channel Fleet. On 16 June 1791, Collingwood married Sarah Blackett, daughter of the Newcastle merchant and politician John Erasmus Blackett.
At the beginning of 1799 Collingwood was raised to the rank of Rear-Admiral after which he sailed to the Mediterranean where he was employed in blockading France until the peace of Amiens allowed him to return to the UK.
With the resumption of hostilities with France in the spring of 1803 he left home, never to return. First he blockaded the French fleet off Brest. In 1804 he was promoted to Vice-Admiral and the following year participated in the Battle of Trafalgar where Nelson was killed.
On 9 November 1805 Collingwood became Baron Collingwood, of Caldburne and Hethpool in Northumberland and was awarded a pension of £2000 per annum.
When not at sea he resided at Collingwood House in Morpeth and at Chirton Hall in North Shields.
In 1805 he was appointed to the Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet. He requested to be relieved of his command that he might return home, however the government urgently requested an admiral with the experience and skill of Collingwood to remain, on the grounds that his country could not dispense with his services in the face on the still potent threat that the French and their allies could pose. His health began to decline alarmingly in 1809, and he was forced to request the Admiralty to allow him to return home, which was finally granted. Collingwood died on board the Ville de Paris, off Port Mahon as he sailed for England, on 7 March 1810. He was laid to rest besides Nelson in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral.

I managed to save this from a video I did while on holiday at Whitley Bay back in about 1988. The quality is not particularly good, but it should be enough to see how it's changed since then. Hope you enjoy.
A stroll around Tynemouth on the North East Coast of England
This video shows some of the landmarks around the town of Tynemouth on the North east Coast of England on the morning of 5th January 2015.
In a departure from my usual railway-dominated videos, this one shows mainly local attractions and sights around Tynemouth, about a mile or so from my home at Marden, North Shields, with the local railways featured at the end.
Sights include the seafront, long sands, the open air swimming pool, the castle and priory, Tynemouth Village, Railway station and buildings and more.
Some sights have been omitted due to time constraints notably Northumberland Park (which is closed and being re-developed by the local council), the golf course, Holy Saviors Church and the aquarium.
Finding Nelson Monument SD
Chelsea, Courtney, and Mike show you how to get to Nelson's Monument in Edinburgh, Scotland.
An HD version will be up soon in which the captions will be easier to read.
Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson lead the British Royal Navy to victory against Spanish and French fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar. He died during the battle.
The inscription at the monument reads:
To the memory of Vice-Admiral Horatio Lord Viscount Nelson, and of the great victory of Trafalgar, too dearly purchased with his blood, the grateful citizens of Edinburgh have erected this monument: not to express their unavailing sorrow for his death; nor yet to celebrate this matchless glories of his life; but, by his noble example, to teach their sons to emulate what they admire, and, like him, when duty requires it, to die for their country.

The Royal Navy's Dardanelles Operation Against The Ottoman Empire
The Dardanelles Operation was the Royal Navy's unsuccessful attempt to impose British demands on the Ottoman Empire as part of the Anglo-Turkish War (1807-1809).
In 1806, the French envoy Sebastiani had been dispatched to Constantinople with orders to bring about Turkey's re-entry into the war. Sultan Selim III set about preparations for war with Russia after positively receiving Sebastiani. The Russian emperor, Alexander I, was alarmed by these developments as he had already deployed a significant force to Poland and East Prussia to fight the advancing French forces under Emperor Napoleon I. Alexander requested British assistance in keeping Turkey out of the war.
The British army was far too small and inadequate to impose the will of the Coalition on the Ottomans, so it naturally fell to the powerful Royal Navy to meet Russia's requests. The ships immediately available for the task were HMS Canopus, HMS Standard, HMS Thunderer, HMS Glatton, and the two bomb ships HMS Lucifer and HMS Meteor, under the command of Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, commander-in-chief of the British Mediterranean Fleet, sailed for the Dardanelles and made preparations for the upcoming assault.
In the meantime, the British ambassador to Constantinople, Arbuthnot, demanded that the Ottoman government evict Sebastiani, and added that should the Ottomans resist the ultimatum, the Mediterranean fleet would attack.
The actual force that had been chosen by Collingwood to carry out the operation was small—only eight ships-of-the-line and four frigates. In addition, four Russian ships-of-the-line under Admiral Dmitry Senyavin were sent to support the British, but did not join Duckworth until after the exit from Dardanelles was made. Admiral Duckworth, who commanded the British, was under orders to bombard Constantinople and seize the Turkish battle fleet.
In anticipation of a war between Russia and Turkey, Britain had sent Sir Thomas Louis from Cadiz on 2 November 1806 into the Mediterranean Sea. He reached Tenedos, near the Dardanelles Strait, on 21 November, made a brief trip to Constantinople and returned to the Straits. Turkey had declared war on Russia on 30 December 1806, and Britain sent Admiral Sir John Duckworth in Royal George 100 from Cadiz on 15 January 1807 into the Mediterranean Sea. Picking up Windsor Castle 98 guns and Repulse 74 guns from Gibraltar and Pompée 74 and Ajax 74 from Malta as replacements for the Russian fleet under Seniavin, which was still in the Adriatic, Duckworth proceeded to Tenedos. Despite the British ultimatum, on December 27 Selim declared war on Russia. On 29 January 1807, the frigate Endymion of 40 guns left Constantinople, evacuating the British ambassador and all British residents. A formal declaration of war had not yet been sent by London and the two powers were still technically allied.
On February 10, Duckworth's fleet concentrated at the mouth of the Dardanelles. It met Louis's ships and returned to Tenedos on 1 February, where Duckworth's ships met up. Still not technically at war, the Turkish delayed Duckworth with token negotiations. The presence of British and Russian vessels at the mouth of the Dardanelles caused Sebastiani and his French engineering officers to begin the improvement of the Turkish shore batteries.
On 11 February, the fleet, with Duckworth in command, left Tenedos, but for a week could not enter the Straits because of lack of wind. Ajax caught fire on 14 February, ran aground on Tenedos, and blew up on 15 February.
Finally, on 19 February the ships sailed up the Dardanelles, where they were fired on by the forts at the entrance (fire was returned by the bombs), then the castles further up (fire was returned by the fleet). However, the absence of significant numbers of Turkish troops, owing to the end of Ramadan, meant the batteries were ineffective and the fleet quickly reached the Sea of Marmara.
