ROBERT GARDINER (EDITOR) The Line of Battle: The Sailing Warship 1650-1840: Conway's History of the Ship
London, Conway Maritime Press. 2004, 1st Printing. (ISBN: 0851779549) Paperback, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Although purpose built fighting ships had existed earlier, the principal characteristics of the classic sailing warship were defined in the mid-seventeenth century, and the line of battle ship became ever more distinct. Alongside came the greater specialisation of the fleets and the evolution of the frigate and the adaptation of myriad types of craft for naval use. The story of these developments is clearly elucidated in this paperback volume. New.
