Horatio’s Chronology

Note: This is based on the notations of the films and my own personal headcanon as supplemented by various contextual hints in the show itself. Due to the fact the films are spread apart, verses with multiple years involved can be expanded on abundantly as the adventures we see on screen are hardly all that occur in that timeline.

Furthermore, while I have set the ‘canon’ for my Horatio’s death, events in verses and storylines are capable of subverting the situation – that said, as a general rule on this blog I will not write anything past 1820. 

( Fun semi-related fact: It is possible to be the direct grandchild of people born in 1790! Pushing past 1820 feels ‘too modern’ for this Age of Sail blog for a lot of reasons, but this one is just neat. )
