The anatomy of Nelson's ships

by C. Nepean Longridge

This book is concerning the boats during the era of Admiral Nelson, (The battle of Trafalgar, 1805), and his boat The H.M.S. Victory, a 105 gun 1,000 man ship. Many,many illustrations showing rib construction, planking, decking, rigging etc.all from a modelers point of view. After reading numerous books of the Victory, Nelson and modeling, and being a modeler I would say that this is one of the very best, a classic.
