Miles is a historical collection of naval narratives written in the late 19th century. This compilation presents fifty-two tales that chronologically outline the key events and battles of the British Navy, capturing pivotal moments that have historically contributed to Britain's naval supremacy. Focused on notable figures and pivotal battles, the stories aim to engage readers with the rich maritime legacy of the British naval force. At the start of this volume, the opening portion provides a foundational exploration of the beginnings of the British Navy, tracing its roots back to early Saxon influences and iconic figures such as King Alfred the Great. The narrative outlines the historical context in which the English first faced Viking invasions, highlighting Alfred's strategic innovations in shipbuilding and naval tactics that laid the groundwork for a national fleet. This introduction serves to illustrate how these maritime efforts eventually evolved into a formidable naval power, setting the stage for the subsequent stories that follow in this captivating collection.
