Book Overview
This exciting new volume presents every ship in which Nelson served, in full detail, for the first time. Following a comprehensive background of each vessel, including the actions in which it participated, each ship's construction details and costs will be explored alongside any modifications that were made. The incidents that occurred while Nelson was on board each ship reveal an abridged version of his career and offer both the enthusiast and general reader an insight into the man himself. Fully researched and developed by one of the most well-known and respected Nelson historians, and heavily illustrated in part by Geoff Hunt, jacket artist for the popular Patrick O'Brien series, this will be an invaluable work for both the academic and enthusiast alike.

Detailed Insight Into the 18th Century Royal Navy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an outstanding work on the life and times of the Royal Navy in Nelson's time. The technical aspects of each ship as well as the lives of the men that served on these ships is covered in minute detail giving the naval history enthusiast a valuable reference work. Of particular interest is the fate of each ship, something that is relatively unknown in most works of a similar nature. Of particular interest is the detailed records kept at the time and the fact that they have survived to the present day thus giving the ordinary sailor a name and a place in history even if it was for breaking the rules.
Excellent job Mr Goodwin

This is my favourite book on the ships of the age of sail not only because of its great artwork but also because of the explanations that even simpletons like me can understand. I love this book and you will too.
