The Introduction of the Ironclad Warship by James Phinney Baxter III. The book: The Introduction of the Ironclad Warship Authored by historian James Phinney Baxter III, this landmark study was published… in 1933 and is considered the first comprehensive, fully researched history of the development of ironclad vessels. It traces the origins and early development of ironclad warships in both Europe and America by incorporating research from U.S. and British sources. Baxter's work examines the technological revolutions in naval armament, propulsion systems, and ship construction that made ironclads possible. Though nearly a century old, the book remains a standard and authoritative text on the subject. The topic: The introduction of ironclad warships The actual introduction of ironclad warships revolutionized naval warfare in the mid-19th century. Context for innovation: Wooden warships were made obsolete by the development of explosive shells in the 1840s, which could easily destroy traditional hulls.
