London, Conway Maritime Press. 2003, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0851779492) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. From the eclipse of the galley in the 16th century until the widespread introduction of steam propulsion in the mid-19th century, the sailing ship was the major instrument of maritime power. This annual explores all aspects of maritime history during this period. Although the major components of the sailing ship changed little in these years, advanced in design and construction refined the form. Advances occurred in strategy, administration and fighting tactics. Major expeditions of exploration were undertaken, while the seafaring community as a whole underwent profound changes. Themes examined include: ship development and construction; modern refurbishment and reconstruction; maritime strategy; naval campaigns; fighting tactics; social life; naval infrastructure; maritime finance and insurance; exploration; merchant shipping; maritime art and archaeology. New/New.
