Nelson's Navy: The Ships, Men and Organization, 1793-1815

Immersive age-of-sail naval world, brilliantly detailed

If you love history that feels lived-in rather than distant, this is the kind of book people end up dipping into for hours. It brings Nelson’s era to life through ships, sailors, tactics, and daily routines, with the sort of detail that makes the whole navy feel vivid and tangible. Readers who enjoy authoritative but approachable nonfiction will likely find it both a rich reference and a genuinely absorbing read.

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

First published in 1990, this in-depth reference work provides an encyclopedic yet highly readable description of the Royal Navy in Lord Nelson's era. It is filled with more than four hundred illustrations and is divided into fourteen sections that cover ship design and construction, the navy's administration, and life at sea. Other topics include ship handling and navigation, gunnery techniques and fighting tactics, and a discussion of foreign navies of the day. Nelson's Navy is a valuable reference for naval historians, enthusiasts, and general readers.
