FIGHTING SHIPS 1750-1850
by Sam Willis
This is a stunning collection of over 170 large-format colour illustrations of the great fighting ships of 1750 to 1850. It includes paintings of ships at sea, in action, in convoy and in siege, plus architectural drawings, battle diagrams, sea charts and signals, portraits of leading figures in naval history and details of guns, sails and life below deck. Taken from contemporary sources, they range from the Seven Years War to the American Civil War. Arranged in chronological order, each illustration is accompanied by an extended caption that adds to a compelling history of naval warfare in the last great age of sail.
