Clive Charlton: The story of how Napoleon got to Plymouth Sound after his 1815 defeat at Waterloo and what happened once he got there. The “Ten Amazing Days” was the short but dramatic period the fallen emperor, Napoleon, spent in Plymouth Sound in the summer of 1815 - following his surrender to the British in the wake of the defeat at Waterloo. The talk includs Napoleon’s surrender, his journey from Rochefort on board HMS Bellerophon, the excitement, controversy and tensions of his stay in the ship just off Plymouth, and finally his departure into exile on St Helena.
