This work addresses the development of warfare at sea during the
pivotal early phases of Europe's rise to world domination between
the 14th and the 17th centuries. It describes the challenge of
harnessing human muscle power, the force of the wind and the energy
of gunpowder to create effective fighting ships. The author begins
with an examination of the geographic and technological realities
of warfare at sea. The human dimension is also addressed, showing
how distinct attitudes, beliefs and ambitions played a crucial role
in shaping events. Throughout, key developments are illustrated
with narrative accounts of wars, campaigns and battles chosen for
their strategic importance.
