The Illustrated Companion to Nelson's Navy

Nelson-era naval life, vividly decoded and illustrated

If you love historical sea fiction, this feels like the missing key to the world behind the stories. It brings Nelson’s Navy to life through practical details, from shipbuilding to food to discipline, in a way that’s both immersive and easy to dip into. Readers would probably love how it turns obscure naval terms and routines into something wonderfully concrete and visual.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

50 color photographs and 450 black-and-white illustrations. Size: 7 x 10 inches. A perfect complement to the fiction of historical novelists such as Patrick O'Brian. An essential addition to every Nelson enthusiast's library. The fictional exploits of sailors in the Royal Navy have thrilled readers around the world, but to many the 'real world' of Nelson's Navy has remained a mystery until now. Whether seeking a recipe for 'spotted dog' or the method for reefing the main topgallant, Nelson enthusiasts will find it in this extraordinary compendium. Every aspect of the Royal Navy is covered—the workings of the Admiralty; the designs and construction of ships; life on board; food and drink; discipline; seamanship; merchant fleets; and opposing navies—all explained in succinct texts and illustrated with specially commissioned sketches, maps, and diagrams. Nicholas Blake is an editor at Macmillan (London), whose authors include David Donachie. Richard Lawrence, who illustrated the book, is an accomplished graphic artist and designer who recently co-authored The Period House.
