Between the last battle fought entirely under oars in 1571 and the
first fought entirely under steam in 1866, naval warfare in the
Middle Seas and adjacent Atlantic waters was dominated by the
sailing warship. This exploration of that distinct period in
military history begins with an overview of the galley warfare that
dominated the Mediterranean for millennia and a discussion of the
technological developments, including the sail and the cannon,
which led to the galley's demise. Subsequent chapters discuss the
role of sailing ships in every major conflict on the Mediterranean
from the Eighty Years War to the late 19th century
Austro-Prussian-Italian War. In addition to the major battles, the
book also highlights smaller encounters between single ships or
light squadrons, important conflicts often overlooked in naval
histories.
