This review is from: The Boats of Men-of-War: Revised Edition (Hardcover)
This is one of the very few books that deals with small, ancillary boats rather than on the biggest, fastest, or latest ships or yachts. It gives a history of British military ship's boats, from the earliest known specifications through the steam era. This includes myraid boat plans, scantling dimensions, sail and rigging details, armament, and period illustrations.While I would have liked a bit more in the operational side of the boat use and more on the preferred woods used, this is very minor. Overall, I found this a good and thorough work. Excellent, as are many of the books I've seen from the Naval Institute Press. |
