Descriptionof British Warships in the Age of Sail 1793-1817

Upon its initial publication in 2005, this book was hailed as a significant contribution to naval history, and its value as a reference work was demonstrated by how quickly it went out of print. This revised edition incorporates several important corrections while retaining the comprehensive coverage of the original, detailing well over 2,000 vesselswhether purpose-built, captured, purchased, or merely charteredthat saw service during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. In addition to technical specifications, the entries include commissioning dates, refit periods, changes of command, stations of service (and the timing thereof), and details of any engagements in which the ships participated. The book is richly illustrated with contemporary prints and drawings depicting the wide range of duties performed by naval vessels during these conflicts, while specially commissioned profile drawings illustrate the most significant classes. All in all, it is a fitting tribute to a navy that, at the height of its power in 1809, comprised half of the world's warships.
