The Naval Chronicle, published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818,
is a key source for British maritime and military history. This
reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the
most influential maritime publication of its day. The subjects
covered range from accounts of battles and lists of ships to
notices of promotions and marriages, courts martial and deaths, and
biographies, poetry and letters. Each volume also contains
engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important
harbours around the world. Volume 35, published in 1816,
concentrates on British attempts to suppress the Barbary pirates in
the Mediterranean and discusses state papers describing these
diplomatic efforts. The volume also includes fascinating
descriptions of the community the descendants of the mutineers of
the Bounty created on the Pitcairn Islands, together with a
biography of Alexander Dalrymple and maps and descriptions of St
Petersburg harbour and Bornholm Island, Sweden.
