John McKay - Anatomy of the Ship. The 100-Gun Ship Victory (2000)
One
of the most popular titles in the best-selling Anatomy of the Ship
series Comes complete with 1/192 Scale fold-out plan Forever associated
with Nelson's last battle, HMS Victory is one of the most famous ships
of all time, and is now preserved as a major part pf the Royal Naval
Museum in Portsmouth. The ship's survival is particularly appropriate
since Victory is not only an example of the ultimate sailing warship -
the three decker First Rate - but was also the most popular and
successful 100-gun ship of the period. Forty years old by the time of
Trafalgar, she had been the flagship of half a dozen famous admirals,
and was to continue in active service until 1812. First published in
1987, this revised edition of the 100-gun ship Victory now incorporates
and details the most recent research and findings of the HMS Victory
Advisory Technical Committee. This Volume Features: * Full
description of the ship and her position in the development of the First
Rate * Pictorial section emphasising close-up and on-board photographs *
Guide to the ship's Trafalgar colour scheme on the book jacket * More
than 300 perspective and 3-view drawings, with in-depth descriptive
keys, of every detail of the ship as presently restored - general
arrangements, hull construction, fittings, decoration, masts and yards,
riggings and armament * One large-scale 1/192 plan on the reverse of
extended fold-out jacket.
