Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is the story of the Bellerophon, a ship of the line known to her crew as the Billy Ruffian. And like any good biography it runs from birth (in a small shipyard on the river Medway near Rochester in 1782), to death (in a breaker's yard a mile or so upstream at the age of fifty-four). In the intervening years, under fourteen captains, she played a conspicuous part in three of the most famous of all sea battles: the battle of the Glorious First of June (1794), the opening action against Revolutionary France; the battle of the Nile (1798), which halted Napoleon's eastern expansion from Cairo; and the battle of Trafalgar (1805), which established British naval supremacy for 100 years and during which her captain was shot dead with a musket ball an hour before Nelson was mortally wounded. But her crowning glory came six weeks after the Battle of Waterloo, when the Napoleon, trapped in Rochefort, surrendered to the captain of the ship that had dogged his steps for more than twenty years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Condition: As New. : Sumérgete en la fascinante historia del HMS Bellerophon, cariñosamente apodado 'Billy Ruffian' por su tripulación. Este libro narra la vida de este navío de línea desde su nacimiento en un astillero en el río Medway en 1782 hasta su desmantelamiento cincuenta y cuatro años después. Bajo el mando de catorce capitanes, el Bellerophon participó en tres de las batallas navales más importantes: la del Primero de Junio (1794), la del Nilo (1798) y la de Trafalgar (1805). Sin embargo, su momento de mayor gloria llegó tras la batalla de Waterloo, cuando Napoleón, atrapado en Rochefort, se rindió al capitán del barco que había seguido sus pasos durante más de dos décadas.
