| Synopsis: |
This text reproduces original plans of all the principal types of warship employed during the Napoleonic Wars, from huge three-deckers down to gunboats and the often ignored support craft on which every dockyard depended. This period is widely regarded as the apogee of the sailing man of war, which reached a degree of efficiency never previously attained. Every major seapower was involved in this conflict, and at some point virtually all of them were arrayed against Great Britain, and many of the enemies' ships, taken in battle, were drawn, ensuring that a representative selection of accurate draughts survive for all the main protagonists. Accompanying texts and captions describe the function and development of each of the apparently bewildering variety of rates while an appendix lists other relevant draughts available at the National Maritiame Museum, so the series will also function as a guide to the Museum's collection. |
