Drachinifel on John Fowke, Gunpowder Supplier to the Revolutionary Merchants of London

Before putting the finishing touches on my thesis project, I reached out to Drachinifel, the number one naval affairs YouTuber, to ask how important Fowke was to his faction of merchants in London. As Drach says, a gunpowder supplier was “incredibly valuable” to shipping merchants at a time when the royal gunpowder monopoly was not producing anywhere near enough to meet market demand.
