Description
No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked pale grey boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with very minor scratching to rear. 352pp. An in-depth study of the workings of a great sailing fleet at the apogee of its military success. The book covers design and construction, administration, training and organisation of men and life at sea. It shows a world far removed from the popularly depicted poverty and cruelty of life in the Royal Navy. A heavy book.
