Frequently Asked Questions...
During the height of the British Empire, how did England find enough men for Royal Navy ships?
I've always wondered this. England by herself has a relatively small population. So how was she (England) able to, by law, maintain a navy 3 times larger than any other nation? Did the manpower come from British colonies, convicts, volunteers? Any serious (and preferably historian/British) answers are very welcomed.
Answer:
If you look at one of the reasons behind the US going to war against England in 1812 that will give you one of their sources of labor, others were volunteers from England and their colonies, some were impressed into service. The term for these groups were press gangs
And the term "Shanghaied" actually originated from the Pacific Northwest in the US from bars and what not having traps set up to kidnap people, knock them out and when they woke up they were onboard an outbound ship, usually bound for Shanghai.
