This survey of bone ship models made by French and American prisoners during and after the Napoleonic wars covers the wide range of warships from a size of less than two inches to more than seven feet. The book also outlines some of the other varied materials which were used including ivory, wood, straw and tortoiseshell. The sails as well as the hulls were made from these materials and sometimes even the rigging. The author looks at the prisoners themselves, their working conditions, the tools they used and their motives and methods of sale. As records of the ships of the period they are valuable since few builders' models were made during the war: as objects of aesthetic appeal they have been widely sought after both by museums and individuals.
