Navy Board Ship Models (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 18 - 22 working days

From about the middle of the seventeenth century the Navy's
administrators began to commission models of their ships that were
accurately detailed and, for the first time, systematically to
scale. These developed a recognized style, which included features
like the unplanked lower hull with a simplified pattern of framing
that emphasized the shape of the underwater body. Exquisitely
crafted, these were always rare and highly prized objects - indeed,
Samuel Pepys expressed a profound desire to own one - and today
they are widely regarded as the acme of the ship modeler's art. As
benefits its subject, Navy Board Ship Models is visually striking,
with numerous color photographs that make it as attractive as it is
informative to anyone with an interest in model making or historic
ships.
