THE ARMING AND FITTING OF ENGLISH SHIPS OF WAR 1600-1815
by Brian Lavery
Published by Conway Maritime Press. 1st. 1987
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The Royal Navy armed and fitted out literally thousands of wooden warships between 1600 and 1815, and virtually every item or process was the subject of alteration and improvement during this period. This book gives the precise details of these development, wherever possible with exact information on sizes and scantlings based on reliable contemporary sources. An indispensable guide to all historical ship modellers, but also provides a wider analysis of technological development of value to maritime historians and industrial archaeologists. Large format. Black boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos, illustrations and plans. 319 pages including index.
A lovely copy with no discernible faults.
