About the Author
John McKay is an architectural draughtsman by profession, and this training undoubtedly helped with the production of a series of techical drawings for three volumes in Conway's Anatomy of the Ship series; on the Victory, the frigate Pandora and the armed transport Bounty. His book on the Victory took nearly five years to complete and involved more than 3,000 hours of work, but resulted in what remains perhaps the most comprehensive documentation of the ship to date. John lives near Vancouver, Canada.

This review is from: The Armed Transport Bounty (Anatomy of the Ship) (Hardcover)
Another excellent book in this series. The drawings are exquisite, and fully dimensioned. The author has done his research well, and combines information from various sources to good effect in producing an exacting description of what this ship was like.

Another John McKay masterpiece,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Armed Transport Bounty (Anatomy of the Ship) (Hardcover)
This is the third book with John McKay's drawings that I have that I find indespensible when working with models of these ships. I have two copies of "The 100 Gun Ship Victory" because one was damaged when building a model of the Victory and had to be replaced. The detail is unrivalled and I like these books because everything you need is in front of you saving hours of reserch. I have many other books on ships and history of this period and I find no fault with this one at all and recommend it to any one with an interest or a period ship modeler.
