Did you know that during the Napoleonic Wars, a group of British sailors came up with a clever way to defeat the French - by using exploding surfboards? Okay, not exactly, but they did use something called "fire ships" which were basically old vessels packed with explosives and set on fire, then sailed into the enemy's fleet. It was a pretty effective tactic, but also super dangerous, and often the sailors who piloted these fire ships didn't make it out alive. Talk about going out with a bang!
