From the Author
Description of illustrations
This lavishly illustrated book contains some rarely seen contemporary paintings, including one by Nicholas Pocock of the Line-of-Battle (by kind permission of John Hood), and many prints contemporary to the period by John & Dominic Serres, Cook, Baugean, Rowlandson and other contemporary sources such as Chapman's Architectura Mercatoria Navalis and Falconer's Universal Dictionary of The Marine; augmented by over 300 graphics, maps, diagrams and sketches by Richard Lawrence
Synopsis
The fictional exploits of sailors in the Royal Navy have thrilled readers around the world. But to many, the 'real world' of Nelson's Navy has remained a mystery until now. Whether looking for a recipe for 'spotted dog' or the method for reefing the main topgallant, Nelson enthusiasts will find it in this extraordinary compendium. Every aspect of the Royal Navy is covered - the workings of the admiralty, the designs and building of ships, life on board, food and drink, discipline, seamanship, merchant fleets, and opposing navies - all are explained in succinct texts and illustrated with specially commissioned sketches, maps, and diagrams.
