The history of Admiral Horatio Nelson has been written from every possible angle but this is not the case with his ships. Such information as there was about the ships was buried in the archives on naval architecture; only a top expert could have sifted it and presented it in a useable form. Dr. Longridge was that expert. His research is supported by 271 detailed line drawings, rare photographs and unique fold-out plans showing hull framing, interior construction, complex rigging and deck layouts. Anyone interested in ships, naval architecture or ship modelling will find this book invaluable.
