Gardiner: Frigates of the Napoleonic Wars (Naval Institute Press, 2006)

Description: Highly interesting and extremely detailed book. Excellent condition. Small crease in front cover, which is barely noticeable (see pictures). Packed carefully and shipped via media mail. Description from AmazonThis is the first in-depth history of the sailing navy's most popular and charismatic ship type at the height of its development. Their actions have been the stuff of history and sea fiction for generations, but the ships themselves are hardly documented at all. This book redresses the balance and describes the design, construction, armament and fitting of individual classes; it looks at the factors that influenced their development, compares the ships of the major navies, and analyses the way in which frigates were employed in the many roles they were expected to perform. Illustrated with the original plans, photographs of models, and contemporary prints this is a work for historians, modellers and enthusiasts as well as for those who enjoy their naval history.
