The British Eagles were formed by the merging of two crews; "The War Eagles" and "The British Marines".

Before the British Eagles
The War Eagles was founded by Grindelmule on March 8th 2005, and soon after joined Eatdamuffin's flag Skull and Crossbones, leaving after 2 weeks due to a conflict of interest, then joining the flag The Royal Marines, headed by Ryanisgreat. A short while later, Skull and Crossbones declared war on the flag, and with the help of ’ alt crew, sunk a large amount of Eatdamuffin’s fleet.

Around a week later, The War Eagles decided to merge with The British Marines, captained by Antix, who then went on to become first mate. However, after a month, a rift started between The British Eagles and Antix, who then went on to create a new crew, called New World Order. This caused The British Eagles to leave the Royal Marines to join Scuppering Seven Seas, one week prior to the blockade.

Scuppering Seven Seas Period
After three months of rule, in June 2005, Grindelmule stated his intentions to leave the game and left the crew to be captained by Terhial, with Dragonblade as first mate. However, this was not to be, and around two weeks later, Terhial also left the game and Dragonblade took control as captain, with Johndigger as first mate.

In July 2005, the Eagles took part in a blockade was against their friends and former flag mates, Infierno De los Diablos, at. This was the first time that many of the crew members had bnavved in a blockade. After a long heated battle, the score was 3-2 in their favour. Unfortunately, this blockade had a huge impact on their friendship with IDLD, one they have long since mended.

August was a difficult month for the crew. During one weekend, three islands were blockaded simultaneously, and two were lost. During November, Scuppering Seven Seas renamed itself to The Borg and started its attempt to assimilate the ocean, at its peak owning four islands.

Current Day
In December, The Borg was involved in five simultaneous blockades, just after Scupperer retired, leaving the flag to be run by a council of royals. After much effort and hard work, in which the flag earned a lot of prestige, Scuppering Seven Seas fell. Following much contemplation, the crew decided to join Requiem; however, after one and half months they decided to leave and join El Cazador, lead by Lorthar of Ghosts of the Seven Seas. It only took half a month for the crew to realise they didn't belong there and move to Ellipse, where they still are today.

Within Ellipse, The British Eagles have risen to be one of the leading crews, with crew members such as Karinam, Queen of Ellipse, and Dragonblade, Minister of Blockades.
