Professor Andrew Lambert, Dr John Brooks, Professor Matthew Seligmann, Captain Peter Hore, Professor Barry Gough, Dr Laura Rowe, Penelope Fisher (filmmaker and Fisher’s great great granddaughter) and Rear Admiral Chris Parry commemorate and debate the life and legacy of Admiral Lord ‘Jacky’ Fisher (1841-1920). Fisher was one of the most famous men of his age; an innovator who drove the transformation of the Royal Navy prior to the First World War, introducing the new big gun battleships while reforming gunnery, training and conditions.

The event was held to mark the centenary of Fisher’s death and to celebrate the transfer of new material to the Churchill Archives Centre. Fisher became First Sea Lord for the first time on 20 October 1904.
