#OnThisDay 1689 The French & English navies fought each other for the first time since 1545 at the Battle of Bantry Bay. The French managed to unload supplies for James’s Irish campaign & inflicted more damage but the battle is deemed inconclusive. The French did not capitalise on their tactical gains with strategic success.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
