In order to highlight and celebrate Britain's rich maritime heritage, this comprehensively illustrated volume features a total of 50 historic ships still in existence today (some of which are replicas), including the "Mary Rose", H.M.S. "Victory", H.M.S. "Trimcomalee", S.S. "Great Britain", "Cutty Sark", R.R.S. "Discovery", H.M.S. "Warrior", H.M.S. "Belfast", H.M.Y. "Britannia", H.M.S. "Alliance", H.M.S. "Cavalier", H.M.S. "Plymouth", the submarines "Ocelot", "Onyx" and "Otus" of the "Oberon" class as well as a Thames barque. However, the text not only provides information on the history of the individual ships, their construction and preservation, but also on the entire development of British military and civilian shipping up to the period after World War II.
