Captions available
The idea
The first major raid struck Lindisfarne in seven ninety-three, a witness name. Small parties grew into fleets of hundreds: the anchor's one hundred fifty on the Garonne in eight forty-four, eight hundred at Hamburg in eight forty-five, seven hundred at Paris in eight eighty-five.
In practice
The Great Fleet in East Anglia in the eight seventies.
Where people slip
The ship counts are the anchor's. Attribute them.
