Descriptionof The Lost Ships of Charles II's Navy: Understanding the Seventeenth-Century Warship
Manufacturer

By the end of the 17th century, the English navy was the largest in the country, and in 1677 the House of Commons, under Samuel Pepys as Minister of the Navy, decided to fund the construction of 30 new ships - the largest single shipbuilding project to date. This history by naval historian Richard Endsor describes the story of this great endeavour and attempts to reconstruct the blueprints of these ships based on detailed measurements and calculations left by Edmund Dummer, an assistant to the master shipbuilder Sir Anthony Deane and later surveyor to the Navy from 1692 to 1699. Based on Dummer's surviving notebook, supplemented by the official list of ship dimensions, large-scale artistic drawings and several surviving models, "The Lost Ships of Charles II's Navy" contains true-to-scale and accurate blueprints for several named ships as well as numerous other illustrations, including contemporary Van de Velde drawings of the ships.
