ReubenJames, Ok so you not looking for militaristic (Spelt wrong) side of history. I always do. Sorry I shall try again........ Well Victoria Britain/U.K didn't do much except as I read joined the othe European powers for the race for Africa and marched against each other......... Also this is going off a long shot............. North West Passage was still being seeked.........Ask me old man again tommorrow, he is Hambledon bouy and my Great Great Grandfather built ships in Portsmouth Dockyards helped build ships around the 1900 or b4, we still have his original toolbox with Portsmouth painted on it. We are a family of collecters, like the Australian lyre bird.
