|
Here are the precise details of the developments which took place in the arming and fitting of warships during the period 1600 to 1815. Wherever possible, exact information on sizes and scantlings, based on contemporary sources, is given. An indispensable guide to ship modelers and a fascinating analysis for maritime historians. The Royal Navy armed and fitted out thousands of wooden warships between 1600 and 1815, and virtually every item or process was the subject of alteration or improvement. This book charts the developments, wherever possible based on reliable contemporary sources. |
