The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period
when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval
tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as
the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval
strength was the Ship of the Line. These "wooden walls" were more
than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to
800 men, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This
text offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the
largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era. It
includes discussion of some of the most famous individuals and
ships of the day, such as Nelson, Cochrane, HMS Victory and HMS
Indefatigable. There is also a catalogue of all British
Ships-of-the-Line from 1792 to 1815, as well as Orders of Battle
for Trafalgar, Copenhagen and the Nile.
