Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail by Bernard Ireland
Following the success of Jane's War at Sea 1897-1997 and Jane's Battleships of the 20th Century, Bernard Ireland's latest book gives the same treatment to the Age of Sail. Covering the classic era of sailing ship warfare from the early 18th Century to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, England Expects reveals how ships were built, sailed and fought in the era made popular today by the novels of Patrick O'Brien, C.S.Forester, Alexander Kent, Dudley Pope and others. Acclaimed naval artist Tony Gibbons will illustrate every type of sailing warship from ships of the line, frigates and sloops to privateers' schooners, bomb ketches and xebecs.
Bernard Ireland is a marine engineer and is the leading warship author in the UK. Tony Gibbons illustrated Jane's Battleships and War at Sea.
