Notes I propose to tell in non-technical
and popular language the story of some of the
most remarkable episodes in the history of sea power.
I shall begin with the first sea-fight of which we
have a detailed history--
the Battle of Salamis (B.C. 480), the victory by
which Themistocles the Athenian proved the soundness
of his maxim that \"he who commands the sea commands
all.\" I shall end with the last and greatest of
naval engagements, the Battle of Tsu-shima, an event
that reversed the long experience of victory won by
West over East, which began with Salamis more than
two thousand years ago.
