Why Camperdown is outside this Dogger Bank set

Camperdown belongs to the same North Sea nexus geographically, but falls outside this shorter selection because the battle carries a different name.

Question

Could the Battle of Camperdown be included in a Dogger Bank lecture?

Short answer

Geographically yes, but this shorter set keeps to actions actually named for Dogger Bank; Camperdown appears in the broader nexus treatment.

Notes

A viewer asks whether the Battle of Camperdown could be included because it lies near the southern end of Dogger Bank. Camperdown and several other actions are geographically close enough for a broader treatment. They are excluded here because they are named for other places rather than formally remembered as Dogger Bank battles. In a full three-hour version of the nexus lecture, those neighboring actions return as comparisons. The answer reveals how the lecture's geographic teaching method can be broad while its named-battle list remains deliberately narrow.
