British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-Line

by Angus Konstam, Tony Bryan
British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-Line - Thryft
British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-Line - Thryft

Detailed exploration of British naval dominance.

If you're enthralled by naval history and the towering sea vessels that once ruled the waves, Angus Konstam's book will take you aboard the grand British Ships-of-the-Line. It’s a deep dive into the golden age of sail, where tactics, ship design, and the life of sailors at sea come to life. Perfect for maritime aficionados or anyone curious about the supremacy of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

Description

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The British 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, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era.
