In spite of the title, the book deals almost exclusively with the "Victory", and will probably remain the definite work on that subject from a modeller's point of view. ( I'll modify that to "a Non-English modeller's point of view", as in England everything connected with demi-god Nelson is up for constant, slight but important, revision.)

The history of Admiral Horatio Nelson has been written from every possible angle, but this was not so with his ships. Not until this work was first published in 1961. Before then, such information as there was about the ships was buried in archives on Naval Architecture; only the top expert could have sifted it and present it in a usable form, Dr Longridge was that expert, and his work became a veritable treasure trove for every naval historian and ship modeller. His research is supported by 271 detailed line drawings, rare photographs and fold-out plans showing hull framing, interior construction, complexing and deck layouts No library descriptions found. |
