(Subject: Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - General) Horatio Nelson was the most brilliant and honoured British naval leader, a great seaman and tactician who inspired loyalty and devotion in those who served with him.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. P & O is as old as seagoing steamships and its story weaves like thread through the history of the British Empire. For 150 years P & O has been one of the world's greatest shipping lines. Beginning with the mail contract to Gibraltar, P & O quickly became the natural way for generations of English men and women to travel to India and the Far East. In wartime, P & O's service and sacrifice was vital to Britain's survival. In two world wars and in the Falkland's conflict P & O ships and their crews endured with unexampled courage contributing to eventual victory. Today, P & O is a modern internationally based company with wide ranging interests; it faces the future with pride in its past and confidence in its ability to rise to new challenges. P & O's quartered blazon is now as familiar inland as it ever was on the sea lanes. The naval historians, David and Stepeh Howarth, tell vividly an exciting story of the birth and development of one of Britain's greatest companies. Illustrated. 224 pp.…

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Nelson. The Immortal Memory. Slight foxing to edge. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. The authors, two of the country's leading naval historians, create here an immensely human portrait of the man - at once humble yet ambitious, kind but at times irritable, exceptionally lovable and yet often vain and self-pitying, unswerving in his sense of professional duty but unfaithful to his wife in one tremendous love affair. And they evoke, as well, a remarkable sense of what it was to sail the seas in Nelson's day, in peace and in war. The great battles of St Vincent, the Nile and Copenhagen spring vividly to life, as do the achievements of the British blockading fleet off the French coast in the months and years before the victory of Trafalgar - a victory so decisive and so devastating that it put an end to war at sea for a century. There have been many attempts to explain the unique response that Nelson could win from almost everyone. This penetrating but sympathetic new biography brings us closer than ever before to an understnading of one of our most revered heroes, who even during his lifetime secured an enduring place in the hearts of an entire nation. Illustrated. 390 pp.…
