HMS Victory is probably the best-known historic ship in the world.
A symbol of the Royal Navy's achievements during the great age of
sail, she is based in Portsmouth and seen by tens of thousands of
visitors each year.As is the case for many historic ships, however,
there is a surprising shortage of informative and well illustrated
guides, for reference during a visit or for research by enthusiasts
- ship modellers, naval buffs, historians or students. This new
series redresses the gap. Written by experts and containing more
than 200 specially commissioned photographs, each title will take
the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship, from bow to
stern and deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel - for
example, the capstan, steering gear, armament, brody stove,
cockpit, stern cabins - are given detailed coverage both in words
and pictures, so that the reader has at hand the most complete
visual record and explanation of the ship that exists.In addition,
the importance of the ship, both in her own time and now as a
museum vessel, is explained, while her design and build, her
fighting career and her life prior to restoration and exhibition
are all described. No other books offer such superb visual impact
and detailed information as the Seaforth Historic Ship Series - a
truly groundbreaking concept bringing the ships of our past vividly
to life.Nominated for the 2011 Mountbatten awards.
