This is an important illustrated survey about the experiments with steam and the first Naval warships. For anyone interested in maritime history, especially Naval techniques, this will become a continually source of reference and enjoyment.
This book comprises some 125 warship types, from the start of powered warship design to the modern giants of global power projection. The warships described here are illustrated by the celebrated technical artist John Batchelor, and their stories are outlined by the well known military and technical historian Christopher Chant. A number of stamps and rare photographs are also included to complete the illustration of these magnificent vessels and their place in history.
Sponsored by the world ship trust, it is the most comprehensive listing of surviving historic ships ever published
