Description: The Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship-of-the-Line. These 'wooden walls' were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-industrial era. The story of their weapons, equipment and tactics. Black & white photos, illustrations and drawings. Eight color plates.Brand new, unused condition.
