Review:
If Neptune s Trident sets the standard for what is to follow - we can at least rest assured that there is a series that truly does justice to our proud merchant maritime past. --Nautilus UK Telegraph, December 2008
Richard Woodman tells many a good tale in this first volume and it is fascinating to read. I highly recommend this first volume in the Neptune s Trident for anyone with an interest in the early modern period. If the rest of the series is as good as this one, they should all be on the bookshelves of those studying the history of Britain, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. --Open History, Spring 09

The first of five volumes all of which I am selling on this site, it details the surprising history of British merchant shipping which had a profounder influence on Great Britain and the modern world than many people think and certainly complements the history of the Royal Navy. Neptune's Trident begins a fascinating story of the rise and fall of a major industry that remains an integral part of this island's history. Nothing so complete has ever been attempted and Woodman's professional expertise as both mariner and historian make this series the most significant addition to the UK's maritime history, one which spills over into 500 years of British society. Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO (born 1944) is an English novelist and naval historian who retired in 1997 from a 37-year nautical career, mainly working for Trinity House, to write full-time. He went to sea at the age of sixteen as an indentured midshipman and has spent eleven years in command. His experience ranges from cargo-liners to ocean weather ships and specialist support vessels as well as yachts, square-riggers, and trawlers. Woodman is a regular correspondent for the shipping newspaper Lloyd's List and continues his close association with the sea as a keen yachtsman. He also serves on the Corporate Board of Trinity House. He has won several awards including the Society for Nautical Research's Anderson Medal in 2005 and the Marine Society's Harmer Award in 1978.
